    I have no thoughts whatsoever on how the gun runs or anything like that, but it certainly is ugly.

    Agreed. Now I would just love to know what their thought process was for TDA? Not that I’m complaining, just is going against the grain.

    OK, there might be some Glock DNA in there too.

    Yeah, it's a good question. I think the P99s the Polish use are what we'd call PPQs--not DA/SA. The WIST-94 was also striker-fired/polymer framed. Though it, apparently, had reliability issues. Maybe that experience made them want to revert to something more... established?

    All that said... DA/SA is still a proven way to carry a round in the chamber safely. Maybe it's as simple as that? Though I was under the impression that most militaries carry handguns with empty chambers. I dunno.

    Although, the new one, I would actually take to the range and shoot! Being half Polish as well, I kind of want one for...reasons

    Radom has a cool history. While under Nazi occupation, they apparently found a way to make guns for the resistance by making two guns for each serial number.
