Don't own but direct experience through a previous job. Short version:
Pros
-great trigger with a smooth and not too heavy DA, a very nice SA, and a very short and distinct reset
-comfortable grip though please keep in mind this is subjective and I have very small hands and found it comfortable so meat paws might not like it. The new ones come with interchangeable backstraps so most should find the grip fairly comfortable
-extremely soft shooting, it's hard to quantify recoil but about as soft as shooting a CZ Shadow which is odd considering it is a polymer gun. I can't explain how the recoil feels so soft though I've heard the rotary lockup system eats up some of the recoil
-relatively low bore axis for a hammer-fired DA/SA handgun if you care about that sort of thing
Cons
-some issues with small parts reliability but these issues are supposed to have been fixed with the latest ones starting to come in
-if anything does break, where are you going to get extra parts? I guess we have a new official Canadian distributor now so this may no longer be an issue
-extra mags? Holster? Different sights? Almost nothing in the market right now, not sure how soon that can change. Usually it takes a couple of years after a gun becomes popular in the US for a positive change
-mag release was really stiff... like really stiff but I think this was also corrected with the latest ones
Overall it's not a bad gun but there are other handguns I would recommend first. Pricing is going to be a big factor for me because if they are inexpensive, I think they are worth a hard look since they are a decent gun that is unique. If the pricing is closer to what's already on the market, I see no reason to get it. I think there are 5-6 trims coming out so we'll see how they're priced.

Dammmmm. That's a great answer....... What he said. I love shooting mine, although mine is the sti version, really a great shooter, but I agree, holsters, sights and mags have been difficult to find... That said I put a lot of rounds down range with this pistol, and so far I'm very happy....
