Excellent value.  The finish is a little rough- the backstrap checkering 
is cast into the frame, other little things like this.  It may not win 
and beauty contests, but mine has taken a bit a pounding, and come back 
ready for more.  I would not say it's the most accurate gun either.  But 
for the size, it's not meant to be a target gun.  I'd say it runs on the 
larger sizes of groups you hear about most semi-autos turning in.  
Magazine gunwriters have tested it and found it more accurate than I can 
shoot it by far, on par with other semi-autos.
It's a tough, capable, affordable pistol, I'd say go with it.  I had two 
misfeeds when I first got it.  I attributed it to breaking in, either me 
or the gun.  Except for the control differences, I liken it to a compact 
version of the 1911: proven tough & reliable, a serious tool for a 
serious job.
