Other notes to talk about: This was the first firearm I ever owned. This is a very light weight firearm and has some very positive features about it. I have found this is a favorite among most women who I have had shoot the weapon. Please note, I recommend getting the aftermarket $25 extended slide release which enables the gun to be very user friendly for women. A multitude of accessories and parts are readily available and very easy to maintain. Break down is smooth and very basic for a first time shooter. Note, there are no "traditional" safeties and they run a fully integrated multi-stage trigger safety.
