Picked up one of these today. I took it to the range and sent about 150-200 rounds out of it. Out the box it shoots about an inch low and an inch left for me. You can adjust it but I didn't mess with it today. 15 yard groups were in the 3 to 4 inch range with cheap rounds. I figured after I cleaned it for the first time I and decided what I was going to shoot in it I would adjust the sites.
One thing I can say is it's got a good bit of rise and the grip leaves a little to be desired. Hopefully I can get it where it's a little easier to hold on to. It didn't cause me much problem since my hands are big but I could see where someone with smaller hands and less hand strength could have a problem. It makes me wonder if your hands were wet how big of a problem it may be.
It failed to feed 2 times on me... slide locked open. I hit the slide release and it went right back to shooting. I guess it could have been the cheap ammo I was sending down range. It needed some serious cleaning when I got it home. I'll check it out again when I shoot it next.
It's a little more than a pocket gun for most people. I can probably get away with it due to my size. In a small inside the pants holster it's really nice... almost to the point of wanting to make sure it's still there for me.
It only comes with one mag. The earlier ones had 2. I guess they stopped that to keep the price of them down. I've got a little less than $300 in this one before tax. I'm thinking it was $289 but I'm not certain. I paid for the FN I ordered today at the same time and I can't find the receipt.
I never liked Taurus handguns. This one has changed my mind. I had not looked at one in probably 10 years. They have come a long way since then. I ran a mag of Federal Hydra Shok through it. It fed it with no problems and the group was actaully better with them than any other rounds I had put in it. I shot some NATO rounds, Eagle and some really cheap stuff. I can't remember what the box said now. It was half the price of the Eagles if that tells you anything.
