June 12, 2018.
Seated rest, 10 yards, five different .380 loads.
I defined accurate by noting the best 5-shot groups with each load through all three pistols.
The Spectrum easily beat the other two.
Best group through it was 5 shots in 11/16 of an inch with Remington Golden Sabers.
Worst best was Winchester Kinetic at 2 1/8 inches.
The Springfield was the most solidly built, but too tightly fit, several malfunctions.
Smith & Spectrum zero malfunctions.
The thing about the Spectrum is that you HAVE to understand it.
A lightweight carry, no-snag draw, smooth ergonomics, fast-reaction, close-in defensive pistol.
Not built for regular shooting, not a target pistol, not a recreational pistol.
The trigger is long & heavy to allow safe carry, round chambered, no manual safety.
The tiny sights are largely ignorable in a very close-threat context.
Point & pull.
Can be used if threat's farther out & time allows.
The trigger pull is not the sole determiner of value in the right context & overall picture.
My results have been published twice, and written up as they were found during testing.
