Carried this daily since buying it and put about 500 rounds through at various Arizona ranges. The 9mm capacity is generous for the size, and the slide serrations provide excellent grip even with sweaty hands. Conceals easily in my waistband without printing.
Vanessa T. –
Took this to the range in Scottsdale and put 200 rounds through it. Accuracy was impressive at 15 yards, but it didn’t like my preferred defensive ammo. After switching to FMJ, it ran flawlessly. The sights are excellent for quick acquisition.
Nate K. –
Used this in a defensive pistol course at the local range. The gun handled rapid fire drills well and never malfunctioned. My only nitpick is the trigger pull weight – it’s consistent but heavier than I prefer for precision work. Still, it’s become my regular carry piece.

I carried this at the Tucson swap meet last weekend and barely noticed it under my t-shirt. The 9mm recoil was surprisingly manageable for such a compact pistol, and the trigger broke clean every time. I’m definitely keeping this as my summer carry gun.

I was skeptical about a sub-compact’s accuracy, but this proved me wrong. The ergonomics fit my hand perfectly, and I was hitting tight groups at 25 yards. The trigger reset is crisp and short, making follow-up shots easy. Tucson Arms had it in stock when nobody else did.
