I took it out for some target practice; it really shines there! The sights are user-friendly and make aiming so much easier. I was hitting bullseyes consistently!

That sounds awesome, @tlamb! But what about recoil? Is it as light as @pleon says?

I’ve heard some people mention issues with finish quality. Is it mostly a cosmetic concern, or does it affect performance?

The finish is decent but not top-tier. I haven’t noticed it affecting performance, though. I just clean mine regularly to keep it looking fresh.

Absolutely, Elizabeth! I’ve noticed that the stainless steel finish not only looks sleek but also resists corrosion very well. It really adds to the durability over time.
