Ok, I just bought it yesterday, and I couldn't resist...normally I go to an outdoor range, but instead had to try it out on an indoor one...
I had to know if I had a reliable, accurate carry weapon.
I shot about 200 rounds of FMJ 230 grain through it. The gun is a striker fired weapon, no hammer. Reminds me of a Glock firing mechanism, actually, once I took it apart. Really sort of a cross between a glock upper and a PT-92 lower (designed to work together, of course).
I was very pleasantly surprised. First, accuracy was better than I thought it would be. 2" groups at about 30 feet, if I concentrated on accuracy over speed. That was pretty good for a gun with a short sight radius, and a 3.3" barrel...3 dot sights are nice, too. Right on the money.
Recoil was very managable. Lighter than I thought it would be, actually.
There was no frame cracking/plastic cracking.
The trigger pull was long, (not necessarily a bad thing...this is a self defense gun, not a bullseye pistol, and a light trigger that could go off with slight pressure is not what I wanted). The trigger pull is consistant...always the same, as opposed to traditional double action pistols (which this is not...its striker fired, as I mentioned earlier). After a while, I "knew" where the trigger would break, and it was also consistent. I had read other posting on how the PT series had a horrible trigger...I tried dry firing it before I bought it, and the trigger "feel" was just fine. Same at the range feeding ammo.
I DID have four failures. Three were the partial feeding of ammo...that is, the round was half way into the chamber, with the slide not closed all the way. All I did for each of these was push the slide forward the remaining distance...and it was at this point I realized I made a slight mistake in my rush to try out the weapon...
I had not lubed the weapon at all...it was just as it was with the lubrication from the factory...four months ago.
One failure was a failure to eject, and the slide tried to close on the fired round. Cleared by racking the weapon.
The magazine does not fall free from the gun when the release is pressed, but needs a tug. Since I don't plan to carry this with more than a single mag, I'm not concerned.
After I got it home, I stripped it and lubed it with CLP. I don't expect to have any problems...Most guns need a slight break-in period.
Overall, I was VERY pleased. This is darn good for a gun that cost $365.
If you got any questions, post, and I'll do my best to answer them...
