The 9mm model offered faster recovery time, had more round capacity, and was more compact than the 45 ACP model. It also cost slightly less.

After reading this review in Feb. 2015, I purchased this great little gun in April 2015! I am certainly glad that I did! I have had zero problems with it, even though it is my EDC, and has been for over seven years now. I LOVE the fact that it is a double stack magazine, making the grip slightly fuller, which fits my hand like a glove. That is “The most important” thing to consider with a handgun, especially one that could end up saving your, or someone else’s life! If the gun doesn’t “fit” your hand, it will not feel comfortable to you, and chances are, you will be less likely to practice with it! The “Grip Zone” fits my hand like a glove, and I practice with it every chance I get, this gun is a joy to shoot!!!
