Okay so I bought this because my wife does not like recoil but she wants to be proficient with a firearm. I figured a full sized 9mm that weighed 30 oz.'s empty should be pretty mild to shoot. We went & shot Saturday. The pistol did fine. I didn't take pics of targets, try to shoot tiny groups etc. I was mostly working with her about grip, stance & using the sights. She shot better with this pistol than she has anything else to date. I believe it is because she wasn't worried that it was going to hurt her. We have more work to do but I believe we are on the right track.
We fired about 80 rounds of full metal jacket & hollow points. She fired about 50 of them. Then she said she was tired & wanted to quit. I fired a few more & ran a few magazines through my old XD & let it go for the day.
We didn't have any malfunctions. I like the pistol fine. The medium grip shell that came on it felt really nice to me. We shot it with the small grip on it because that is what fits her hand the best. It was okay but I think I would have shot better with the larger grip. I believe it is a good gun. Time will tell where the wife ends up at as a shooter but I think this is a good starting point.
