Analysis

This .45 Auto pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a reliable and user-friendly firearm for personal defense or range use. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent performance in controlled shooting scenarios, while the ergonomic grip design enhances comfort and control, accommodating a variety of hand sizes. Reliability is a key asset, with the pistol functioning well across diverse conditions and ammunition types. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 to 7 pounds, providing a predictable break that aids precision. However, felt recoil can be noticeable, particularly for less experienced shooters, due to the potent caliber. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat involved, requiring attention to detail during disassembly and cleaning. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges in certain regions, potentially delaying repairs. Overall, it’s a dependable choice, though recoil management and upkeep considerations are worth noting.

Glove like

It was love at first grip fitting my hand like a glove. My XD Mod 2 came to me lightly used and since the very first round sent down range there’s never even been a gulp or a hiccup.

Always loved the Ruger feel Glock comes in all flavors ... many that others don't but this is the first 45 that not only fits hand best, dbl.stack mag but has become THE tack hammer (indoor range limited to 45') of the bunch. Also seems that Crimson Trace carters to this brand + in green! ... as well as TFX™ PRO TRITIUM/FIBER-OPTICs If Mod.2 ever comes out in 357sig, so long Glock ... and maybe even Ruger LCR ....
