They are tack drivers at 15 yards. They have some weight to them so the kick is comparable to a full size in .45. My wife has a growing collection of them, has been her edc for over a year now and i like them so much i picked that one up for myself. I highly recommend them over any other micro 9 sized gun.I would love a range report on the micro 9, have been considering an all metal pocket pistol.
