I had one of the Ilaflon ones that were imported around 2007ish or so.
It was OK, but I found the grip too short and reloading was a pain (literally). The similarly sized P228 and P229 felt much better to me.
I kicked mine down the road.
If you have smallish hands it may be ok, but I think for a TDA polymer gun the CZ's and the Beretta PX4 are probably better options.
Had one. Extremely accurate, great trigger, awful internal magwell with a pronounced 90-degree step along the inside of the backstrap.

As much as I love my SP2022, pretty much this. It’s not very size efficient, it’s heavy for it’s size, it’s got a surprisingly short grip, and the magwell is not great. That damn trigger though, it’s amazing out of the box, and the rest of the ergos are just great for me. Hell, even the stock texturing on the frame is about what you’d want for a good blend of carry and shooting.
I never really understood the appeal of the 2022. A 226 really isn’t that much bigger than a 2022. Most of the size difference is in the barrel length. If I remember correctly there’s only like 4 ounces difference between the two? A 229 is almost exactly the same size and has the same 4 ounce difference.
