This is a great little pistol! Amazing, really. I have been following the fanfare of these little pistols since their introduction a couple of years ago and held off on getting one until the teething problems got sorted out. They have been.
I bought the TacPac model, which came with a manual safety, factory Sig holster, and three 12-round magazines.
I brought it home from the dealer and proceeded to strip it down and clean and re-lube it. There were reports of issues with grit and excessive assembly grease causing issues with the striker operation. My gun arrived with the cleanest insides I have ever seen. Nothing but light oil. Not even a single metal shaving or piece of grit anywhere.
Got it back together and tested the trigger pull. Just over 6 lbs, but very crisp and a short pull. Felt much lighter than it was.
I then installed a Hogue slip-on grip since it was just a little thin for me. With the grip installed, it feels amazingly good.

Took it to the range today and stupidly forgot most of my 9mm reloads. I still had a box of two different reloads and tried them out. The first box did 6.25" at 25 yards. That was using RMR 124gr bullets and 5.5 grains of Ramshot Silhouette.

The second load was using Hornady XTP in 147gr with 5.0 grains of Ramshot Silhouette. That resulted in a 2" at 25yd 5-shot group. That meets my criteria for a carry pistol, so it's good to go. I have a few other loads for the 9mm using Speer Gold Dots that I didn't have with me, so the next time will have to try them out. I also fired a few other types of factory FMJ ammo and they all did around 3" to 4".
Fired maybe around 150 rounds doing accuracy testing and drills. Not a single issue and the gun had much less recoil than I had anticipated.
The only issues I have with the pistol is the size and the safety. It's so small that drawing it quickly from concealment is difficult. The holsters I tried today were both very comfortable and very good at making the pistol disappear. But they also make it difficult to draw quickly.
The safety is very stiff and positioned too far back for me to swipe it with my thumb without changing my grip while drawing and bringing the weapon up. On my M&P40c, the safety is larger and easier to manipulate.
Overall, it's an impressive little pistol that performs like a larger gun.
Compared to my former carry guns; M&P40c on the left and XDS 40 on the right...
