I know this thread is old, and maybe this is the wrong place but, does the "soft-coil" recoil reducing technology actually make any sense? Doesnt every action have an equal and opposite reaction? I dont understand how slowing down the release of the gasses actually reduces recoil. It seems like it would have equal or greater recoil and wear down those components of your gun quickly. Its 2017 now how are your ccps holding up?
I bought one of these last year for the old lady.
She couldn't pull back the slide on most of my guns and this one is super easy. The softer recoil really helps too. It's more ergonomic in smaller hands and she could reach all the controls. She shot 50rds at the range and didn't even complain once. Actually seemed to enjoy it.
....and I don't think she's touched it since.
I have one in the 8000 range serial number and never had a bit of problems with it like it so much that I have another one in the 40000 serial number and have recommended this gun to a few of my friends. They also like the weapon. I never had a problem with ether one of the pistols. They are fun to shoot and don't wear out your hand. Cleaning it is no problem which it does get real dirty I use break cleaner on the slide and a air hoes to blow it out. On the bottom side just wipe it out and a small amount of lub. Pay attention to the piston and port to keep it dry no lube in this area it comes with a wire brush to clean the port. After about three time the take down is a lot easier first couple you will want to throw it out the window. I use Critical Defense in both of them and like the shell very much.
