The gun is accurate and very controllable. The main issue is my arthritis. The nice thin backstrap really hammers the web of my hand and after a hundredish rounds it gets pretty unpleasant. With a high thumb grip things start to get in the way and I run into the slide occasionally failing to lock back on empty. With my thumbs locked down it's a bruiser. I'll keep it around for those times when a smaller gun might be necessary, but it's not something I'll be training with as a primary.
