Yep ... extremely accurate and easy to shoot, IMHO.

But a pain to reload ammo, an is de-nutted by a 10 rd magazine. I had one for 3 years then sold and bought a cz52 for a lot less. It is a very unique handgun with an interesting history.

i see the point about ammo and pricing. bit it seems like a genuinely fun gun to shoot!

Don't take me wrong it was fun to shoot relatively no recoil. I knew a guy who carried and he related it rubbed his back due to size of magazine well.

Cool looking gun. I wouldn't mind having one, but I don't want to pay what people want for one... Ohh and the whole 10 round magazine in CA. Big turn off for me.

I have one and like it. Especially after shooting my new 500S&W barrel on my encore pistol.

Had the chance to buy it 3x, I agree its nice and very ergo for its purpose but not my cup of tea.

why not? i'm kind of on the fence on this one, i like the fact that i think the wifey will like shooting this but i also feel its a bit of a toy.

so real world feedback helps a lot...

If you really want something your wife would like to shoot. Get her a 1911 in 9mm

Extremely accurate and almost no recoil..... just too expensive for my cup of tea

I've got one & love it. I've shot it 4 or 5 times & got it a couple of months ago. It's really light w/ low recoil. It's more accurate than I am, meaning when an expert shooter at the range I go to shot it it was dead on accurate. As in all the holes in the target were either touching each other or went through the same hole! When I shoot it it's not that accurate but I need practice! I don't like the trigger creep it has & I'm signed up for a trigger job through Elite Ammunition. And yes, it is a pain to load, I'm looking for a bullet loader for it but haven't found one yet. Yes, to bad about the 10 round thing, I'm just hoping for a turn around on that issue in Calif. It was $1049 + tax & fees on sale so no it's not cheap. I certainly have no buyers remorse with it though, I'd get it again in a hot second.... Don't care for the FN 5.7 Carbines though. I'm planning on getting a 5.7 upper for a ar-15 lower... I'll report back after the trigger job....

If it was cheaper i'd get one.
Also good ammunition is very expensive compared to the crappy sporting ammo which is also expensive.
Also Elite Ammunition got raided by BATF this year and customer information was seized which is not cool at all.

I got one when I first started shooting. It's mostly a novelty gun, and I probably shoot it twice a year. Yes, it's accurate and is easy to shoot, but it's not a serious HD gun, plus it is expensive, and you lose the mag capacity advantage here in CA. If you have the bucks, get one if you really want one, otherwise get I'd get something more useful.
