Finally got to take this beauty out for a spin with mixed results. Firstly, the pistol is well made and all parts have a very nice fit and finish. Holding it in your hand gives a good feeling both in it's heft and ergonomics. I have medium large hands and it felt very good. Secondly, the springs are a bit stiff and some reasonable force is required to rack the slide, not for women (pardon my lack of PC). OK, at the range, Armscor 180 jacketed flat nose, not a hot load, more in the medium range. I fired 8 magazines and had at least one, and sometimes two failures to return to battery in each mag. None of these failures required more than a whack on the back of the slide to cure. Perhaps both the gun and mags need a bit more breaking in time. Very annoying but next time I will try hotter loads. The pistol is very controllable and I was able to have very nice groupings at 7 and 10 yards, will move out further next time. So my impressions so far, nice but could be better and it will Never be a self defense gun.

I am not what you would call an expert shooter, but I feel like one when I shoot this pistol. Very accurate and I find the recoil manageable. I do reload(If you own a 10mm, reloading is practically mandatory} and so far all my loads perform well. My favorite is a 165gr. hollow point, even though my 180gr. loads work just as well. I have found it easy and little cheaper to buy 165gr..
