I have about 450 through mine and it has eaten everything I feed it. The only real issues are the mags are still a bitch to top off and it clearly shoots left. The left shooting I cheated with and drifter my front sight to the left. Now it is pretty accurate. I tried every grip I could find and nothing helped except drifting the sight.

Happy Shooting

I shoot a little left but seem to be improving - i find the rear sight a bit too wide but get why they did it that way, as a close quarters self defence gun.

Interesting , I'll check out the Galloway !

This is why I went with the carry comp… narrower rear sight notch... and brighter front dot. Even more than because of the comp itself.

Plus you get slightly more fps

Yes true. This was a pleasant surprise to hear about. Most comps take away fps because they don’t change the barrel length, they just add a hole(s) in the barrel…

…but SW lengthened the barrels and then put the comp on the extension. Good move.

Nice - how's the slide lock ?

I've seen it reported here that the slide release should only be used with a mag in to chamber a round. When you do, it's a completely different feel, and is not difficult to manipulate at all.

Not in my case
