Can't wait to go shoot it!
Update 5/25/2011:
Finally got around to using my "protection", and put 150 rounds down the tube before I had to head home. Accuracy was very good, and I could hold a very tight group at 10 yards when I was focusing and carrying through with the fundamentals. The VZ grips are VERY grippy, and it will take a few trips for my hands to get used to them. Overall gun function was very tight, and it ate everything I fed it without a hiccup (There was one when a friend loaded a magazine improperly - operator error). Trigger was crisp and broke consistently. The undercut trigger guard is also a huge plus.
I also just received 4 power mags from Chip McCormick, that seem to run great, as well as a magwell/MSH from Ed Brown (tight fit!) that I plan to put through their paces this weekend. Initial impressions are good.
Gripes: Front sight is matte black. While this is a non-issue during the day, it can be a pain in the ass to see in a shadowy indoor range, especially on a silhouette. I will be replacing it with something that has a bit more contrast.
Grip safety is a bit finicky with a high grip. It has been getting easier to disengage every time with practice, but I may still "sensitize" it.
The guide rod is kind of a PITA to remove, god forbid I don't have a paperclip handy in the field.
Overall/TL
R :
Impressed with the overall construction and performance of the gun. Shoots very well, and seems to work so far. Only very minor issues that can all be addressed with training or simple upgrades. The more I train and practice with this pistol, the more I like it. I'll try to update this often as I run it through the gears.
NOTE: I'm a complete noob at essentially everything pistol related. This is my first pistol, so feel free to correct me or name-call.
