CGN Regular
So got it in a week or so ago. I haven't had a chance to fire it yet, but hopefully will have a chance this week. So here are some of my intial thoughts and impressions.
Keep in mind 1911's are my go to gun, but the "plastic" pistols I have the most experience with are S&W M&p's, have had glocks (but its been a while) and FNS40L. Have had other polymers but been so long I cant really remember what they felt like.
Pistol comes in a pretty basic case with manual, cleaning brushes and 2 mags.
First off, it feels solid. Small but solid. It is a compact frame, so without the mag in you really notice the lack of grip. With the other polymers it always felt like I was holding something light but top heavy. Due to the design it doesn't feel that way.
Ergos are really nice, even with my short fingers. Better feel than the glock and FN. M&P felt good but always felt like something was missing in the front of the grip. This does not. It terms of how grippy it is... Its plastic. Texture is there but will most likely be adding grip tape.
Trigger isnt bad at all. Not gritty at all but heavier than the regular striker fired pistols.. Single action is close to 5lbs, and can only guess to the DA trigger pull.. But it isnt bad at all, noticeably lighter than the alpa proj revolver I had. I'm sure both will be much better after some trigger time and touching up.
Sights are 3 dot. Nice and visible. Hope the pictures will show well. The finish on the slide looks really nice, and the barrel is super shiny. Feed ramp is nicely polished and feels awesome.
As for the manual, it's really nice, they did not skip out on it. Exploded views and parts list of all their models
As for pulling the hammer down for a DA start, it should be a non issue. I found it very easy to manipulate and set into DA even without using a support hand. Lots of surface area to hold onto the hammer with support hand.
If I had to list some cons;
Trigger pull weight, which isnt that bad.
Safety is super stiff, which wont be used much if at all
Grip texture is not as nice or as aggressive as I would like.
