I bought a used one for cheap at the LGS, I think for about $225, on a whim.
Awesome gun.
Mine is one of the earlier generation full size pistols that has the sorta funky de-cock button on the top of the slide.
While I can’t imagine why I would want to de-cock a striker fired pistol with a round in the chamber, the striker does reset with a slight rearward press of the slide ... not even an inch of movement and little spring resistance. Basically, a press check resets the trigger. And the trigger is one of the better striker triggers I’ve shot.
Mine also feels great in the hand and has cycled literally everything I’ve put through it.
My one gripe is that the texturing on the frame is not all that great. I haven’t really tested it with soaking wet hands or anything. But it feels a tad slippery with hot hands in the summer. I wish they either went with a more aggressive sandpaper texture on the grip areas or left them smooth so I could apply wide swaths of skaters tape. As it is, I’ve got to be rather surgical with an exacto blade to get thin strips of grip tape onto the frame in between the textured areas.
I liked it so much I bought a new one (sans the de-cock) for my son for his birthday. His trigger isn’t as good as mine, but still above average.
I know they had some sort of extreme duty mod for the trigger so I suspect mine may be pre-mod and his is post-mod. Or his may just need a little bit more breaking in.
