My immediate impressions of the gun:
- Sturdy and solid (hefty)
- Very long and strong DA trigger (not gritty but a bit notchy-like)
- Very nice SA trigger
- Slide feels like it’s riding on glass
- Stock grips are plastic (not the rubber that it looks to be)…will have to see how well they grip when firing rounds
- Cerakote is good…not a blemish in sight
- Slide serrations are very aggressive, allowing a good grip on a small area
- Takes down well
- Magazines are high quality
- No decocker (I knew this when I bought it)…will require manual decocking…half cock allows DA without dropping hammer fully when decocking (a good thing for carry, IMO).
I’m thinking I should’ve focused on getting one of these a long time ago…the handgun feels that good in my hand. I’ve no doubt that I’ll love it at the range. I’m not sure about carrying it, though, as it is heavy (1.5 lb) and I’ve heard that it’s difficult to find a holster that’ll hold it that has a retention strap.
I’m not sure I’ll do a table-top review…there are several very good reviews on this handgun already.

UPDATE (7/28/2016): The after-range impressions are here. As well, below is an image of the VZ Grips that I bought for the gun, since I wanted grips that were a bit more aggressive.
