I got a Strike One in 9mm when they 1st came out and scored 6 extra mags. I had a friend who bugged me for 3 years to sell it to him, traded for a Red Box 229 in 40 with a 357 Sig barrel extra and 1K rounds of ammo. I also got the 40 when they were released (very limited #s) and found 2 extra mags that work well. I bought 40 when it went out of favor and shoot the hell out of it! I am still looking at getting another 9MM.
But I still don't get the point nor specifically like that depression on the top of slide behind the front sight. Gives it a PMR-30 kind of vibe (not a good thing to me), particularly when coupled with their blocky grip textured frames. The proof may be in the shooting, but anything that even vaguely hints of a KelTec isn't scoring many brownie points with my admittedly biased eye for aesthetics.

I don’t get the KT reference at all, especially since these have been around a lot longer than the PMR. The grooves on top of the slide are simply for lightening it to speed up cycling. It’s the same slide as the polymer Strike One Speed uses. Many companies use cuts, grooves and cut outs for the same purpose.
