    I would personally go full dustcover and bull barrel....

    I don't think the 5.7 is a very blasty round, even out of a pistol barrel. The grip size might be an issue for grandma. I don't think it's terrible, but small-handed folks might object. It is...

    Artemis is a pretty sweet iron sight gun with the sightblock. I think it's supposed to be easier to track the irons that way than a conventional setup, plus the shorter slide is often preferred for...

    Oh, also, you should try the 'stepped' grip panel on your weak hand side if you haven't already. Makes a really good grip module great.

    Nice pistol, GJM.

    I also have an Athena and love it. I'm a big fan of those safeties and that grip. They're really well thought out.

    I also think it's a super cool gun, and I'd love to hear what you think of the recoil. My thought was always "Is a .308 that light a good idea?" but you could always add a crazy fuck off brake.
