Fine job on the review Slim. I am impressed with the pistol and your coverage of it.

Excellent review Slim. You covered the exact things that I wanted to know before I order one. Thank you.

Hunter, Scott, and Justin,

Thank you for the kind words. I have been very fortunate in being selected to test some great pistols lately, and as Justin saw, this one is a dandy.

Slim, your welcome. Too bad you don't get to keep it. Well guess you could of course for a price.

Steve, as usual, a superbly done review of a fine gun. I wish there was a way I could actually feel one of the T3s (without actually buying it first!), but your review is the next best thing. For a carry gun, I'm still not convinced that the 7 round T3 with the new magwell is an advantage over the 8 round T2 with a bobtail (set up with the same grips and sights as the T3). It would be interesting to hear from owners who have both the T3 and T2 bobtail to comment on this. Thanks again for the review - -and I think I should order some of that Armscor ammo! Oh- and nice holster you have there!

Tony,
Thank you, as well, for your complimentary comments.
I would also like to see a comparison/contrast between the two pistols you mention.
The Armscor Precision ammo has been a consistently fine performer in all the gun tests in which I have used it. The T3 liked it a lot!
The Tucker Gunleather HF1 is indeed a fine holster, and thanks again.
