From a review at JD Defense... "There are several things that I noticed:
1. Recoil seemed less than other pistols. This is important for any firearm that might be used for defensive purposes - it allows you to re-establish aim faster after each shot. The slide action and general operation of the pistol during firing is very smooth.
2. It is more comfortable on the hand for target shooting. This is due in part to the reduced recoil and slightly wider grip than most semi-automatic pistols have. The widened grip spreads the energy over a greater part of your hand, reducing overall pressure felt. This was the first pistol that I could go to the range, shoot large numbers of rounds, and walk away with no effect on my hand. Some pistols left my hand or wrist sore; this one didn't.
3. It is extremely accurate. My groupings became instantly smaller, even at greater distances. While I am not an expert marksman, I saw immediate improvement in my accuracy. This was the first pistol I was able to shoot at multiple targets with speed and keep my accuracy intact. This was tested on an advanced pistol range exercise where I was moving while shooting at multiple targets and all rounds found their mark. I walked away from that feeling better than I ever have about my shooting.
4. It is easy to use. There were models that I had tried previously where I had to physically shift the pistol in my hand or use my free hand to flip the safety or release the magazine.
5. It is compact. Although the grip is wider, the overall size of the pistol is small enough to easily and comfortably conceal while holding enough firepower to stop an attacker with one hit....
I was pleased beyond my wildest expectations and several others who I have allowed to shoot it have purchased their own. It is truly and outstanding pistol worth taking a look at. "
