    Thank you for such an honest and competent review. Very rare these days.

    You've convinced me that a) I really want an H9 but that b) my suspicions that it is still in it's "beta" phase are not...

    Shooting flatter and having "25% less recoil" are two different things entirely. Adding weight will "soften" the recoil by spreading out the impulse, and that is what I suspect that poster was...

    I don't doubt that the H9's design has some influence in how recoil is perceived. And while I value the objectivity of the InRangeTV guys on almost everything else, they are obviously biased when it...

    I have! The magnitude of the effect is variable and contingent on 1) the sight radius, 2) front sight width and 3) rear notch width. Short guns are the most unforgiving and you can absolutely be off...

    Sure...but OP talking about 10-yard groups not 5.

    A POI five inches to the right at 10 yards works out to be less than one degree of bore deflection. With a 5" sight radius, that means that the...

    And not that you asked, but I became most aware of the effect a shooter's eyes can have on sight alignment when I began experimenting with U-notch rear sights about 5 years ago. In theory, it seemed...

    Same here. It's 100% with the +P stuff but jammy with anything cheap--at least it proves that the comp is workin, right? What brand of spring/GR did you go with?

    Been pleased and impressed with my RMR-cut g19 slide from Brownells. Got it on sale for $165 and have zero complaints.

    FWIW, the Poly80 slides have been getting good reviews elsewhere.

    Actually, top top complaint I've seen seems to always go to the price--$1100 for a gun that relies on proprietary parts from a tiny start-up is a risky proposition for many.
