I'm not one to nit pick another person's writing, because frankly my writing sucks. But I am baffled by this article.

In the first two pages he mentions accuracy six times, but on the very next page he says "Since this gun is used strictly for self-defense, traditional accuracy testing from a rest wasn't attempted..."

You can't have it both ways, if you are touting the accuracy of the round, the guns, and how agencies that use it demand extreme accuracy, you would think you would have some accuracy measurement in a review of the pistol and the cartridge, even if you aren't using a rest.
