Before buying any gun I do a little reasearch on that particular weapon. When I saw a S&W selling for $300, it peeked my interest. My reasearch led me to many pros and cons about this weapon. One in particular was the long trigger pull. This is indeed still a problem on this gun (even though the S&W rep said it was fixed from earlier versions). I hate to think how bad it used to be.
At the range I fired it against Glocks & Sigs. Though the accuracy is ok when you get used to the trigger, you have to get used to the trigger.
Next to my Sig P229, it took an eternity to pull that trigger. Glock came in right after the Sig on pull/discharge time.
Although it is not expensive it at least seems to be well made in the S&W tradition, but it is slightly lessor workmanship than other S&W's I have.
Everything else about this gun seemed ok to me, no problems firing, ejecting, etc.
If you need an inexpensive quality gun, this is not bad, but it won't be one of my first picks out of the gun safe on the way to the range.
