Got to take the little pistol to the range today for the first time, I have to say that I am very pleased with this purchase...
The reason for purchasing this pistol was mainly for my wife as she will be taking her CHL in the coming weeks, she was not comfortable with the current pistols I own and I wanted to get her a pistol that was equipped with a safety as she is just getting into shooting pistols for the most part. After much research and handling a lot of firearms (local gun show came at just the right time), this one had several features that I liked and several that she liked. I own several 1911's so I liked that this pistol resembled the 1911 in many ways, thus it operates very similar and once she is comfortable with this pistol there won't be much of a learning curve to pick up one of mine. She liked that she was able to function the slide easier than many of the other guns of the same size, as well as the fit in her hand. The main safety feature I liked about this pistol was the fact that once you have put the magazine in, you can have the thumb safety on while cycling the slide to put a bullet into the chamber, a major plus IMO for a new shooter.
Anyhow, the gun ran flawlessly... The wife and I both shot multiple rounds through the gun (75 rounds total), for a little pistol this one fits in the hand great and is extremely comfortable to shoot. For such a small gun I was impressed with the accuracy achieved with the little gun by both my wife and myself..
For those looking for a CCW or a small pistol for the wife, this pistol is definitely is worth taking a looking at...
To give you an example of the size of this gun (for those that are not familiar with this little pistol) I have attached a photo...

), but is this style like a 1911 which most carried "cocked and locked"? If so, does that pose an issue with a "pocket pistol"?
