Mine has worked really well from a purely performance perspective. With a FreedomSmith trigger it is as good as any polymer gun I've shot.

I currently carry a TP9SC with a dot and I feel fine with it. Both have run like a top for me. If it's your first gun and you can't shoot it a lot to vet it, I'd recommend a more proven brand like Glock or HK. I still believe that those 2 companies produce the most reliable guns on the planet.
