Ok, finally got around to processing the pics. I forgot to take my
digital camera to the range so these targets were taken with a cellphone.
This is using Magtech ammo, 180 g FMJ, distance, approx. 10 yards.
This is fired straight out of the box except for me having the seller
show me how to field strip it, and I wiped a bit of excess grease out of
the action.
This is supposed to be a glock clone. Striker fired, but it has a far
better trigger action imho. Trigger uptake is long but VERY light with
an obvious barrier to actually firing it, and the finish is short and
crisp. I'm used to a harder DAO trigger so this took some getting used
to.
Targets are a plain piece of 8 1/2" x 11" paper with a 1" orange target
sticker. I get those at Cabellas and cost about 2 cents each.
First target, miscounted and used 11 rounds instead of 10:

I still have not totally broken my tendency to anticipate recoil and
pull to the right.
Second target:

After this, I let my Brother in law try it and I switched to my PT-92:

I'd not been to the range for about 2 months so that helped a bit.
Final target #3 with the PT-27. Much better.  Once I am convinced
it's as reliable as the 9mm, I'll use it as my main carry weapon:

Not a competition group, but it'd do for self defense...
Overall, I give this gun 5 stars. I like it and brand new with tax, it
was $380.00.
It has an extra feature too. Re-fire. If the gun misfires, you can pull
the trigger and try again. It has a longer, slightly harder trigger
pull fired DA. It shoots as a DA/SA. SA if you've chambered a round.
It has a left side frame mounted thumb safety.

Sorry for the repost. The original thread title had a serious typo!
