    First and second impressions after running in excess of 1,000 rounds through it yesterday:

    - very manageable recoil with uncompensated barrel
    - almost negligible recoil with compensated barrel
    - very... accentuated muzzle pressure (muzzle is closer to the face compared to shooting a pistol, so this was to be expected)
    - height of sight over bore allows for impact within 3" of point-of-aim up to about 130 meters
    - I was able to constantly hit US Army-issue 3D pop-up targets at 100 meters
    - even the sceptics that had the chance to shoot it yesterday admitted that this little thing is more than they expected
    - shooting singlehandedly is possible if needed, but it get's difficult to quickly pick up the dot of the T1 because of the relatively small aperture. There an EOTech comes in handy


    Only noticeable drawback so far:

    - eats ammo way too fast...










    A little more technical detail:

    As already said, the only modification to the gun is replacing the factory slide endplate with a special plate accepting the charging handle. Installing the modified pistol in the stock takes about 45-60 seconds, depending on the type of forward grip you choose to use (QD or screw-on e.g.).
    We opted to go with a Tango Down QD stubby yesterday while using a TDI SVG so far.
    A Magpul MS2 was used as a single point sling. This allows for hands free carry if needed. This sling also facilitates switching to the left shoulder.
    Sight used was a Aimpoint Micro T1 on a LT660 Larue Mount, this feels natural in this setup. Also used when applicable was an EOTech 3x magnifier in a Larue LT670-EO. I mounted the magnifier "the wrong way", thus allowing for a better eye relieve with the provided rear rail, this also results in having to push the magnifier forward to flip it. I like it this way.



    To be able to release magazines without loosing a good shooting grip on the gun I installed a factory extended magazine release. If planning to use the pistol in a holster alternately, make sure that the holster works with the extended release button.

    Because of the blast being channeled within the forward portion of the stock one should probably consider to protect the white dot of the front sight using a small strip of duct tape or so. Otherwise the dot may get dirty and requires proper cleaning. The forward portion of the gun gets pretty dirty but the residues can be easily wiped off.
