Since this IS the firearms thread..... this is my latest addition. My EDC (every day carry) has been a Sig P938, which is basically a mini-1911... carried cocked and locked.
I have, for the past few months, been hampered with "trigger thumb"... which has nothing to do with anything fun, like shooting. I have limited mobility, and moderate to severe pain when trying to "do" things with my thumb, like pushing down on a safety lever on a handgun... :rolleyes:
I decided to get a small handgun that does not have a safety, and narrowed it down to the SA Hellcat, or the Sig P365, or the new FN Reflex. After much consideration and handling of all the choices... I ended up with this one... the Reflex. It has a really nice single action trigger pull, due to it being an internal hammer, instead of a striker.
Anyway, I've only had it out once, and found that it's shooting a little left for me, so I need to adjust the rear sight a bit....
But, it shows a lot of promise... small, un-obtrusive, 11 round capacity... I think I'm going to like it.
The recoil is a bit snappy, being such a small 9mm, but it's not unmanageable....

That is awesome, I like my smith shield 2.0 because it has the same grip angle as the 1911. Super intuitive.
