Played with one at Bills today, it was very nice! Trigger had a much better reset and quality was top notch, I don't know of a better compact semi auto for anywhere near the $419 Bills was asking.

It felt the same size as my EMP or I would have bought it.

I had a couple issues with the extended mag. It hit different poi with the ext mag but that's undoubtably my grip as it sorted out after a lot of rounds. Dad had an issue with tge ext mag sleeve sliding up at an angle so he didn't seat the mag on reload.

Put about 200 rounds through my 9mm Shield today. FMJ fed great. Hornady Critical Defense 115g FTX had feed issues about once per mag over five mags. Hoping it's a break-in issue, though I've never had any feed issues with my 40c.

Other than the feed problems, this gun is great. Fits much better than any other single stack I've fired.

The trigger on the one I tried was very crisp although a little heavier break than I like.

The manual safety is small, partially recessed, and out of the way. Don't want a safety? Don't use it. You won't even know it is there.

The new trigger system has a definite "click" reset.

I found it difficult to disengage the safety, and likely won't be using it. Trigger is crisp but heavy, I'll definitely need more range time.
