Analysis

This 10mm pistol offers a compelling option for shooters seeking power and performance. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, the grip fits comfortably in most hands, providing a secure hold during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a strong suit, with the firearm cycling smoothly under various conditions, even with high-powered loads. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring meticulous care to prevent wear on critical components. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some users, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, with a moderate break that aids precision, though it might feel stiff for those accustomed to lighter pulls. Felt recoil is significant, as expected with the 10mm cartridge, but manageable with proper technique, making it less ideal for novice shooters.

Nothing shot of AWESOME after some TLC
By JediSayia on 11 Jan 2025
This hand cannon was a real sh*t show of epic proportions, just like it was portrayed on the inter-webs. I however acquired it on "format" and lust of the "tinker". With some extractor tuning for reliability and an "Ed Brown" main spring for a 2.77lb trigger. This has become a BEAST for a BARGIN! BARE WITNESS! This is the way!
