My wife and I purchased this gun for Conceal carry last week. Cabelas had a great deal at $650, which I later learned the price was wrong later when I went back. Its the two-tone model, not my favorite look but the price was right.
I was a little weary of some postings on this gun and was considering the DW ECO at nearly 2X the price.
However, I am happy to report in my situation I had no issues.
Put about 50 rounds of reloads through it first (5g bullseye barrys 230g RN), not a single hiccup.
Then tried some factory Remington hollow points, no hiccups either. The factory ammo had more kick than my 5g bullseye loads for sure.
Then I tried some carry ammo, hornady critical defense +P. More kick yet, but only had one delayed fail to feed. The slide got stuck but before I gave it a whack it slipped into place.
The gun shoots well, no issues with kick. I didn't do as good with the +p ammo so I am going to reconsider using that. It really adds more recoil, nothing to break the wrist but the barrel climbs pretty good.
My wife shot it well too and had no issues with the recoil.
So I wanted to give a positive review for this gun and to let people know not everyone has issues. I was worried about it but am very glad with my purchase.
Cabelas has these on sale for $750 now. Not as good of deal as I got but still not much more than a Glock.
The stock wood grips are a bit thick going to find some thin ones. I could sand these down but want to keep them original in case I have to sell my guns again for some other stupid reason.
