I would not have recommended this particular pistol, but the purchasing decision was made before my involvement and was largely based on it being "James Bond's Gun." After 1,000 rounds the operator knows how to use all of the functions, but still struggles with the dexterity required to effortlessly manipulate the magazine release and safety/decocker. I'm pushing to always start out de-cocked even if it means using 2 hands, but I fear it will be carried cocked and unlocked.
Reliability over the 1,000 has been about what I expected - 1 failure to eject and ~10 light primer strikes/hard primers (all the light strikes were fiocchi - about 1 in 20 rounds needed a 2nd strike to fire). Next 1K will all be new republic ammo so hopefully it likes that better.
