What can you guys tell me about the above gun? The Google reviews I have read on it have been some what inconsistent. Some reviews like the fact that it packs a lot of fire power per ounce. While others complain about, reliability, recoil, and that it can not handle many rounds because they claim it is under built.

Thanks.

I have friend who has one. He and his wife both shoot and carry it. It is a handfull to shoot. He has had to replace some parts on it over time. Springs, Slide pin, and magazines if I remember right.

They no longer make or sell the entire gun I am told. But he has had no problems with parts.

I have a P11, and that little sucker will make you re-think slapping in another mag for practice. Pretty snappy. I can only imagine what a 40 would be like.

I have one
If you are not used to shooting a heavy recoiling pocket cannon
Pass on it

I got mine from a guy that had nothing but problems with it
As I alread had a P11 (9MM) and liked the compact design , I made him a offer that I figured was 1/3 what it was worth
Long story short , He took it

Found out 99% of his problem was a limp wrist or not a strong enough wrist

Mine dosn't get shot much and has only had 500- 600 rnds through it

But I did find one Federal Hollow point would just not feed from the mag during firing

But other than that , mine works fine
