I didn't shoot it much, but as you said it was not comfortable to plink with. It was also only rated for standard pressure ammunition, so no +P. Think of the "grip" you get with some micro-compacts (i.e. the pinky left dangling) and putting 9mm through it instead of .380 will give you an idea. Accuracy was okay, but you have to keep in mind it was ME shooting it, not Rob Leatham! My biggest gripe was the difficulty of field stripping it for cleaning and maintenance, not to mention that the recoil spring was supposed to be replaced at an interval far below what normal handguns need. I ultimately ended up seeing it as too "niche" for my liking.
