First time firing this gun, a 40 S&W.
Firing a mix of Federal Hydra Shok, Federal American Eagle, 180gr JHP, 6.6 gr AA#5.
4 Mags, 1 with Pearce +1 extender.
Using the non-extender mags the gun felt short in my hand but shot just fine. With the +1 grip extender the gun feels almost perfect.
Accuracy was very good for such a small gun. Using a rest I was able to put 6 out of 9 rounds in a 4 inch circle at 25 yards.
I bought the adjustable sight version and I had to crank the rear sight 2 clicks to the right to make it dead on.
Standing and shooting is a different story.
This gun has a very short sight radius, there is only about 2 1/2 inches of barrel in front of the chamber. You need a VERY study hand to be good with this gun. However after a few rounds of practice I was able to put all 9 rounds of a magazine on an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper at 25 yards standing with a weaver stance.
This was a 150 round session.. no jams no mis-fires with any of the mags.. a 100% reliable piece of personal defense. This is now my favorite gun and I'll be putting the +1 extender on all the mags.
The American Eagle ammo is hot stuff.
