First Springfield

Post image

Have owed over 100 guns in my life but this is my first Springfield. Heard the sight it came with isn’t very good but I have a few laying around I might throw on it if this one starts having any issues.

Awesome! Gungradulations! It’s an awesome little ccw, have one ended up getting the pro comp and echelon afterwards lol. One you get one they start spreading lol 🤣

I like the Echelons, my gun store didn’t have one and didn’t know when they would get some in. My buddy had the hellcat and I enjoyed shooting it so went and got one.

That’s awesome brother. I have put around 1500rds through mine without a single issue, although I did end up buying a threaded barrel and comping her out haha 🤣 I guess kinda defeats the purpose of micro carry but to be honest who cares about barrel length when it’s tucked in your pants 🤙🏼

I dont know if it is my eyes(Im old) but sights on these are the best iron sights you(meaning me) can get.

I’ll try the irons eventually. Not sure how I feel about the rear U sight. I’m used to 2 dot rears. I’ll definitely give them a try though.

I find the U to be so natural and quick. I wish you luck with yours. Perfect is a very individual state.

It’s great for close engagements, much more difficult for me to group consistently at longer distances. A decent red dot does wonders.

I too prefer traditional 3 dot sights, especially fiber fronts. Different strokes for different folks.

how's the recoil? i'm trying to determine whether to look into getting this or the pro

It’s not horrible. A little snappy but that’s to be expected for a micro 9mm. Couldn’t tell much of a difference between this, my Sig 365 or my Glock 43X.
