I picked up 2 models in .45 caliber. The one with night sights, and the performance center version with a ported barrel, improved trigger, and fiber optic sights. I field stripped both guns, lubed them and fired 70 rounds through each. Here are my initial impressions.
Pros
Price - With the $75 rebate, these guns are a great deal.
Accuracy - Both guns were extremely accurate out of the box.
Concealability - I love the size.
Capacity - 7+1 rounds of .45 ACP in a very small package.
Recoil - Very manageable, even for the gun with the non-ported barrel.
Reliability - TBD. The PC gun ran flawlessly, 3 failures to lock back on an empty mag for the non-PC gun. But that gun is nowhere near broken in yet.
Cons
Trigger - A ton of creep in both guns, the non-PC trigger was very gritty, the PC one less so. This may smooth out over time.
Takedown - I hate the fact that you need a tool to take these guns down. Yes, just about any tool would work. I used a small allen wrench instead of the referenced small screwdriver. A knife would have also worked, I believe. But it still irks me that you need a tool at all. And this is coming from a 1911 guy.
Overall - You can't beat these guns at the prices you can get them for right now.
