He describes his initial low expectations and explains why he believes the gun exceeded them in feel, balance, recoil management, and shootability. Colion walks through the tactical version’s features—threaded barrel, 15-round capacity, and rail—and shares his view that it’s an excellent option for carry or home defense, though he personally prefers higher capacity.
