my first 45 really liked the fact I could carry 13 rounds(12+1) , feels good, nice shooter recoil no big deal

good shooter although I'm finding that 10 yrds or under it's low of POA, long barrel makes front sight easy to find, recoil is light it's got a intresting triger/action it's single action however if the round doesn't fire it becomes a double action once to give you a second chance of firing the round, no external hammer either I like the gun but would suggest novice gunowners to choose another firearm, that is a bit easier to control in safe manner

single action trigger w/ back up double action for a unfired round, no external hammer although it does have a red indicator at the back of the slide to let the operator know whether the pistol is cocked or not. Just above the extractor is a loaded chamber indicator(also red in color), not cazy about mag release the left side of the gun seems cramped w/ slide loc, safety, and take down lever, and mag release, mags hold 12 rounds
