A fugly pistol. Looks like a Hi-Point.
I bought this on EE. Almost new. Only $290. An offer I could not refuse.
This is an interesting pistol to handle. Have not shot it yet. Maybe tomorrow.
Sights: Steel white dots. Look excellent. Rear sight is adjustable left-right in a dovetail. The sight is numbered, so I assume there are other heights available. The rear notch is wide. Excellent for old eyes, or fast target acquisition.
Magazine: A quality unit, made in Italy. A 15 shot unit, punch-limited to 10. Mag fires out when the mag release is hit.
Mag release: A big button, easy to use. On left side. Probably switchable to the other side.
Slide release: Almost flush. No danger of accidently pushing it. Very stiff. I cannot use it as a slide release. Not ambi and not switchable.
Trigger: Excellent!! Crisp 5 1/4 pounds.
Safety: None. Does not have the safety blade like a Glock. It has a longer than average trigger take-up that finishes cocking the hammer. The take-up is very light.
Action: Single action only. No second strike possibility.
Grip: One size. Very comfortable. Texture is slippery. Needs grip tape.
Slide: Taller than average. Excellent serrations front and back. Easy to use and would work well in wet or cold weather or with gloves.
Frame: Synthetic. Has a rail.
Take-down: Simple. Lock slide open, turn the take down lever, release slide. No need to pull the trigger.
Weight: 27 oz. empty.
I find myself thinking that this would be a good pistol for the military. Holster it loaded (like a Glock). Draw and shoot. No safety too screw up. The hammer is the cocked indicator. If it is visible, the pistil is half-cocked and ready to fire. If it is inside the frame, the pistol is not cocked. I put a small dab of bright red paint on the top of the hammer to make a better "cocked" indicator. There is a small window at the back of the barrel shroud to see inside if there is a round in the chamber.
This is a cheap but well-made pistol. Dealers sell it for around $500 with 3 mags.
