Good morning all, I bought one just a short time ago, 100rds down the tube, and I'll tell you what I think of it.
The magazines are thin, they are classified as a double stack mag but real close to a single stack. The top groove of the mag catches your thumb a lot during loading, Speed loaders need to be shimmed to keep the mag centered under the plunger.
The control levers are an easy reach, grip, and operation with the thumb, safety is back a bit, it is up to be on, for me that's a plus.
Mag release very nice, sticks out far enough for the thumb to find.
The trigger pull could be eased/lightened off a bit ,
A very easy to grip slide pull on the rear of the slide.
The Tri-action feature for the hammer, single and double action is really all you need, having the pre cocked hammer spring and light trigger pull are an accident waiting to happen, but why not have the option for those that do want it, after all not everyone has to use that third action.
Profile wise, thinner, taller, longer than composite frame weapons of the same barrel length.
The sights will cost more to have changed out to aftermarket ones, if it can be done at all.
The sights are low on the slide, the front sight dot should be a different color than the rear sight dots.
No rail for lights and lasers.
Part of the trigger arm/lever is exposed on the right side, could cause some problems, and I don't see it as any kind of difficult solution for the factory to modify the right side grip plate to extend forward to enclose that part of the trigger mechanism.
I kinda wonder what the designer was trying to accomplish by having this section of the trigger operation exposed to the elements?
The trigger assembly grease keeps bleeding out during break in, if your going to take it out of the box and do a 1K rd rapid fire test, take a rag along.
It is very stable with the diamond cut of the grip surface,the recoil buck is more controllable.
Field stripping it is not near as mindless as a glock. For some of you this wil suck.
As a carry goes, it is heavier than the composite counter parts in the market, you know it's on your person.
