It is not too bad. If memory serves me correctly, it is one of the economical autos from Smith, meaning basically a no frills gun. I had one for a while, using it as an off duty gun. It was accurate for its purposes, no question, but I have shot better handguns in that size. Those purposes were to hit the center of the TQ 15 target I train with, but I found I could not shoot it too well past 15 yards, whereas now my Glock 36 drills them without concern. The gun was pretty reliable, the only problem every now and again was not going into battery on a full magazine, this I attribute to the ammo I shoot, which are reloads; have no idea how many times the cases have been reloaded. Every time I pulled the trigger it went bang. The slide did seem a tad chunky and boxey, but it shot and carried great.
I carried it in a Galco fanny pack and a Wild Bill's IWB, half the time it felt like a small bulge and not an artillery piece. Even though it is light, the recoil was very manageable for follow up shots.
I would not hesitate to get another, the only reason I traded was to get a 1076.
One thing to remember, as told by our department armorers, use grease on the frame as oil will not adhere well, due to the metal used in the frame. And Hogue grips did wonders in making it easier on the hand. Factory Smith grips are too slim, and just not comfortable, IMO.
