    I rented one after hearing the hype and put no less than 200 rounds through it - I just wasn’t impressed.
    Igs that’s why they make so those of guns bc the ones some think are the best ever some others are like 🤷🏾‍♂️
    I was also not super impressed with the staccato.
    I prefer my Bul Armory SAS Tac 2

    I really like this offering...but, I also wish they would offer a compact G19 ish size... Very few people want/need a full size, but options are a good thing, so thanks SA for offering it.... Now... bring us a compact and a compact full tac. version and WITH a manual safety option as you have just added to the full size.

      It's called trigger slap and some guns do that to you. The Glock 43x gave me nasty, nasty trigger slap; very uncomfortable to shoot. I put 2 mags through it after purchasing it, then turned right around and sold it. Hated that gun.

    Your reaction was identical to mine. I was pleasantly surprised too when I shot it. It honestly feels like an extension of your arm and your literally throwing the bullets where you want them to go. I got my ported like the Glock C variants and it shoots beyond ridiculous now. One of my favorite striker fired guns.

    An audible trigger is almost gimmicky and people focus way too much on it. Under stress or in a gun fight, you will surely not hear the reset of the trigger; hell, you will barely hear the gun shots. The more important thing people should focus on is how smooth the trigger is because a smooth crisp trigger = more accurate shooting, which is 1000x more relevant in a gun fight or self defense shooting.
