Wow! All I can say is that pistol is almost worthy of HiPoint Fugly-ness, YIKES! But apparently it doesn’t even shoot as good as a HiPoint.
I have to disagree with one important point in the article. The article stated “Any seasoned pistol shooter knows that the fit & feel in the hand is key to picking out a handgun.” While I concede that is popular thinking, and true, why a specific pistol is usually chosen by an individual. However, it’s actually as bad a habit as how inexperienced shooters will lean back while shooting. Or bring the sights UP to head/eye level, instead of bringing their head/eye level DOWN to the sight profile. Or even how almost every newer shooter will grip a pistol with support hand covering the thumb, or the good ‘ol cup & saucer grip, because those grips FEEL more comfortable. These are habits I would typically have to train OUT of shooters, as an instructor. One word I’ve always hated associated with firearms is “ergonomics”! Comfort & Shootability are not synonymous. It is shootability that should be key to choosing a carry handgun. Whenever I’ve been asked “which pistol should I get”, my answer has always been the same: find a range that has rentals & test fire the pistols you like. Choose the one with the best shootability. May surprise a number of them to find the best shooting is not the the one that feels the best.
Great article. Thank you.
