Does feel slightly beefier due to the double stacking of .45 but that overall it felt very nice. DISCLAIMER: I have large hands and the interchangable backstraps make adjusting it to your hand nicer, however, I wasn't put off by a larger weapon because I can handle it. If you know you have smaller hands, I would definitely try to hold one before you consider buying it. But like I said, as for how it shoots... wonderfully and I found it just as easy to shoot the 9 as I did the 45.

I hope that limited insight can assist you.

BTW, I intend to buy one in the future. It's a "go to war" type feeling weapon. I just hope I'm allowed to take it there...
Shockershot:

Can't tell from your very thin profile.

Do you have any significant experience or professional training with handguns?

Do a search for personally owned weapons and deployments and tell us whether you can take your personal gun to combat.
