I have had this little guy for four days now and have put 700 rounds through it. I personally would not consider using such a small caliber for self defense but for those who do, here is my review:
Ergos are great, and it comes with two grips. I put the larger one on and it works great for my hands. Has a smaller one for people with smaller hands or who like a smaller grip. it is very comfortable. Also comes with 2X10 rd mags and two finger extensions which really aren't needed so I didnt put them on.
The sights are three dot and you can reverse the rear to all black. the rear sight is easy to adjust for windage and elevation using a small armorers flat head screwdriver.
The trigger is a nice steady pull. It is easy to find the reset and bring it back to shooting position. It isn't match grade but it is great for a small rimfire pistol. I have not yet measured the pull.
The 10 round magazines have little thumb buttons to make loading easy
Day 1 I wasn't able to shoot it, just admire it because I was hunting for bobcat and fox in the Globe area and didn't want to take the time to test it out in the area we were in for fear of spooking animals. I ran a boresnake through it and lightly lubed the rails with slip 2000 EWL
Day 2 once I got home I put 50 rds of CCI mini hps 36gr chp, 30 federal 550 box 36gr hp, 20 winchester 500 box. 36 gr hp... no issues at all. Fed everything right out of the box. I got the sights adjusted at 15 yards.
Day 3 I put 350 rounds of the federal and 50 rounds of the CCI. I tested it from 75, 50, 25, 15, and 10. All with stellar results.
Today, Day 4 I put 200 more of the federal 550 box 36gr jhp through it. No cleaning, no extra lube, and this thing gave me 700 trouble free rounds. I tested mostly at 15 , 40 and 50 yards.
Here are some of the groupings I got out of it:
15 yards
25 yards
40 yards
Today I also took it apart. To clean it.
Items of notice:
BEEFY extractor. 10/22 style
Barrel is one piece but also mounts 10/22 style via an allen wrench in front of the trigger.
Solidly built with good solid springs
Ejector is also very solid and not flimsy.
Recoil spring stout with polymer guide rod
