I submitted for a XD9 Subcompact 8/20/2022, the package is out for delivery on FedEx for today, 10/28. An earlier purchase of a XDS OSP took only 3 weeks to arrive in September.
I have the Mete SFX and in over a year and perhaps 500-600 rounds it's been flawless with at least 6 different 9mm brands and both 115 and 124 weight ammo. Nice co-witness with a Holosun 407 green dot.
I bought a Shield Plus PC/ not cut for optics. Like the new trigger over that in my 2.0, I don't really have much to say about the porting, just enough reduced recoil to acquire 2ns shot minimally easier. Pleased with it, but should have gone plain-jane version & saved the money. Hope you enjoy...
I've used the Underwood 9mm standard and +P in S&W Shield 2.0 and Plus as well as my Beretta APX Centurion. It's all it's advertised to be, but there are several manufacturers now with similar ammunition. They sell direct if you can't find it elsewhere, and charge a flat shipping rate under $10...
Alright then, I see how being slimmer because of the cartridge size would matter, as where the Ronin 4.25" has the dimensions of a .45 overall. A clear difference once pointed out, I missed that line of thought. Thanks
What advantage does the new Ronin EMP 4" have over the original Ronin 4.25"? Why the odd field strip method with that small spacer being needed? I have the .45 4.25 and was looking to match a 9mm as well. Thanks for any info.
The Mete also comes with an accessory mag well flare, 18&20 round mags, a second backstrap, loader, punch tool as well, and a simple cleaning rod & brush.
Nice list if you throw out the Russians and add the Italians. I have faith in the Turkish firearms, I own a Tristar O/U and now the Canik. The later based on long term reviews online and by local shooters at my range.
Just joined you in getting the Mete SFX, hope to decide on an optic for it soon. One week & 400 rounds into it and no complaints. Swapped the backstraps for the flatter one after the 1st 150 rounds and it'll stay that way.
Possibly the finest stock/out of the box gun I have shot. Fit finish and accuracy unbelievable in this price range. If others want to produce a similar firearm, they need to as Springfield to teach them.
Walked into my LGS/range and stumbled upon a pristine Range Officer Target 9mm in the used case. With two permits pending I had to buy it, but waiting for NJ system to clear me to pick it up (for the 5th time this yr) is the hard part. Now to find a nice compact/sub compact 1911 design, maybe...
