Got a new pistol and took it to the range today with my son, who is the perpetrator of me buying it.
All black. The appearance is great, though the shape is a bit unusual looking. The slide is TALL and the bore axis is pretty high. The grip and frame are cut to allow a high grip to minimize the high bore axis.
The grips are variably textured and feel secure and comfortable. One reason we opted for the black on is that they have 'Grip Zone' emblazoned on the grip. With the tan frame it really looks like toy. Almost like it has G.I. Joe on it. The lettering on the black is barely noticeable. It does allow a high grip and there seemed to be only one way to hold it. The right way.
Didn't need much cleaning, no goo inside and maybe some dust from machining operation and a little wipe and oil smoothed it right up.
Sights are fiber optic front. This is the first time I've used them and I didn't really notice the glow in the sight, I just shot it like I shoot everything else. Smooth, no malfunctions with about 50 to 100 rounds shot.
DAO trigger.........SUPERB. Has a little free travel back but when you get to the release, it's ALMOST like a single action. I was really impressed. Very smooth, too.
It's got some neat features, like a hole in the back that the striker shows through if cocked. And a loaded chamber indicator. Plenty of capacity in this one. About 12_+1 I think.
Ambidextrous mag release, too. Takedown is easy, but just different enough to have me look at youtube for hints.
Only problem. I couldn't shoot it worth a toot. BIG spreads. Though it felt very steady holding and pulling the trigger, SOMETHING must have been wrong with the old technique, I hope Technique can be adjusted. If the gun is that far off it's going to need a factory overyhaul.
VERY pleased with the final product.
