A LGS got one in this week and I put it on hold until Monday so I could research it before buying. First impression is that it is one very neat looking pistol and the X frame grip and trigger feel good in hand. Anyone here have any experience with one?
Why do we want holes in a pistol slide? To let dust, dirt, debris, rocks, mud, etc. in to accumulate between the slide and barrel? Yes, I know they lighten the slide, and that doesn’t make much sense to me either. Stock factory slides are machined to—presumably—optimize their weights for the cartridges being fired, so how does lightening them further improve things?

“ Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one’s own understanding without another’s guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one’s own mind without another’s guidance.” — Immanuel Kant

It's cool bro. Get hip player.
Seriously though. Kyle lamb basically stated it's more for looks than anything else. I appreciated his honesty in the matter
