Finally went to the range

I tried that a while back. I named him Walter Jr. (breaking bad) if that gives you any indication on how it looked

Out of curiosity, at what distance?

Recoil was light but not nearly as light as the .45 I also shot. The weapon itself is nice and light in the hand. I have the Compact 9mm model. Despite that, I didn't have any real control issues. As you can see from the target, I only have some minor breathing control issues I should work on in practice. I don't know a lot of technical terms to describe firing it but it felt just right in my hand. I fired 150 rounds last night and never had a malfunction of even a hint of any issue. IMO I made the right choice in weaponry.

BTW, I thought about getting the .40cal Compact but I rented one at EagleGunRange and kinda sucked with it. Control was definitely more difficult than with the 9mm. It also didn't help that the sights were messed up on the weapon, but I was able to compensate for that.

I really enjoy the feel of the gun in my hand. It fits me perfect and points very well. And the looks! She's a looker for sure! The first time I shot it I was outside and it was chilly so I was wearing light Mechanix gloves. No issues. Loved it.

My second outing was at an indoor range and that's when I noticed a few issues. First, chambering a round can be painful. The location of the ambi-safety and their shape make for an uncomfortable grip. Maybe I just have girly soft hands and need to build up some caluses. Second, every time you fire a round the slide release rubs on my thumb. After trying multiple gripping techniques I could never get it to away. Total I only have about 200 rounds through. I plan to get to the 500 mark before I make a final decision. Right now it's leaning towards the side of "sell."

That is unfortunate, you knew exactly what you wanted also.........it just goes to show----holding and shooting are vastly different.

I'm going to give it another couple tries and see if I can figure out a better technique in using/holding the gun. I really do love it!

Good news for you, if I do get something different you'll get another sale!

Sweet!
