The mag release button is a bit small and requires me to twist the gun just a bit to hit it reliably, but since this is an ambi mag button, I may just work on hitting it with my trigger finger instead. The mag opening has a pretty good bevel on the rear but not on the sides or front, which are thin and the recessed area on both sides doesn't do you any favors, either. The front of the magazine extends up into a "tab" that is prone to catch on the frontstrap side of the mag opening. Reloads were not as fast as I'd have liked.With the RDS, accuracy seemed to tighten up to the point I had no complaints. The rear sight notch is a bit too wide for me, so that likely contributed. Accuracy was about average for your typical $400 polymer combat pistol, about on par with my S&W M&P 1.0s, at least while shooting irons.I was using a 6'oclock hold at about 10 yards and my group was about 1.5"-2" below the 1" dot that I was resting atop my front sight. Sights are very much a "combat hold" setup, where the POI is about where the white dot on the front sight is.After installing the RDS and putting 250 more rounds through it with considerably tamed trigger slap, I feel like it was built and intended for RDS use exclusively. I'd put about 100 rounds through it before I installed the Vortex Venom RDS, and the trigger slap was unpleasant enough that I was considering getting rid of the gun. The Glock-type safety dingus isn't really a problem. After mounting a RDS, the trigger slap was softened and all but unnoticeable. Out of the box, shooting a few mags of mildly hot 9mm earns you a stinging trigger finger.

Trigger has a great pull, but trigger slap does occur on mine.
