What features does this gun have that appealed to you?
It is light and small. The trigger pull is not hard. It is smooth pull so it is easy to hit the target. It’s also easy to clean.
Tell us about shooting this gun:
I got it for Christmas (early) this year. It is smooth with little kick to it. at 15ft I had a tight grouping with several shots nearly in the same hole. I even tried it one handed at 15 and 25 feet and got great groupings. It is very smooth.
How does it fit your hand, how do you like the sights, how difficult is it to rack the slide, how would you describe the trigger pull, and how would you describe the recoil?
It fits well and I have fairly small hands. The sites are easy to see. They are bright white. Racking is really easy. The trigger pull is smooth so it makes it easy to just pull and not know exactly when it will fire which reduces the urge to pull down against recoil. The recoil is small compared to other guns I tried. I really like it.
How reliable is it?
It’s hard to know since I’ve only gone to the range once. I will try updating this as time goes by.
Any problems with any type of ammunition?
Nope.
Does this gun have any specific ammunition requirements? If so, please explain:
Nope.
What do you dislike about shooting this gun, if anything?
Not a thing. I love it.
Was it easy to take down and clean?
Totally. The book has great instructions. It was really easy to take down. Cleaning of course took some time but not any more than any other weapons would.
Would you recommend this gun?
Yes.
For someone considering this gun, what would you tell them?
It is light yet doesn’t have a huge recoil. The trigger pull was what really made me like this gun. My husband has a Sccy and the trigger pull is really hard. While pulling the trigger I found myself pulling down against the possible recoil. I also found my finger getting really tired. This gun is much nicer and with the smaller grip is good for smaller hands.
Anything else you would like to share about the gun?
I like it. I like it. The attached photo is one handed and if you look closely it’s at 15 and 25 feet (circled holes). This is how easy this gun is to shoot. Even my husband does better with it.
