I have been looking at these real hard.

Never have owned a 9MM.

Micro-compact with a high capacity mag.

Ought to be a great CC gun.

Anybody own one?

Funny you brought this up. I put my hands on one of these and a kimber micro 9 today. I’m hoping to make my mind up tomorrow when I go back to Reynolds. Let me know if you get one and if you like it.

I own the sig365, I haven’t held the Springfield because I don’t want to be tempted!
I’m sure it’s nice too.

I bought my wife a Kimber micro 9. After owning numerous Kimber pistols, that one has been a turd. This one may be a fluke, but I wouldn't recommend one. Jams constantly, failure to feed, the factory mag is crap and now it won't eject fully even when loaded. Even with work being done to correct it, it still sucks.

I’ve never owned a Kimber product BUT I have steered from them because I’ve heard the new stuff ain’t like the old. The old was top notch and I haven’t heard good things about their new products. Just like you have described.

I shot the Springfield Hellcat the other day and all I can say is....wow! What a sweet, shooting, fantastic for conceal carry, high capacity gun it is!

To say I like it is an understatement. Very accurate, EXCELLENT sights, mild recoil and 100% reliable.

Purchase with confidence.

BTW, I own 2 Smith Wesson MP Shields and they are shooters as well. One is a 4" Performance Center Shield and the other is the regular 3.3 Shield....both are 45 acp.

Picking mine up Monday. I didn’t order the Optics ready only because I can’t use red dots. Let me know how you like it Cuz. I plan on burning some rounds through mine on Saturday

Only $30.00 difference in the price of the two models. I may never put an optic on it but at least I'll have the option if I wanted to do so.

I'm crazy interested in this weapon. Need to get my arse to the shop and fondle one. Been putting it off because I know if I do it'll follow me home.

Got mine about 2 weeks ago. after 200 rounds through it I'm loving it so far. Haven't had one issue with feeding or jamming and its just fun to shoot. I carry mine with the 13 round mag since it only adds about 1/2" to length of handle for 2 extra rounds compared to flush 11 round mag. Springfield really knocked it out of the park with this pistol and set the bar high for the rest of gun makers. Currently looking for a IWB holster for it and leaning towards the crossbred
