In a moment of weakness whilst searching out the right 9mm I came across this. I didn’t go for it at first but as I examined my options I kept coming back to it as other than the gratuitous BW stuff it had everything I wanted and was actually available in this poor excuse of a state I live in.
Doesnt look bad. I’m not a fan of the 226 (too fat of grip, long reset, etc), but if I were to ever get another 226 I’d be getting one of the BW versions.
The beavertail detracts from the gun’s shootability, in my opinion. It also makes it much harder to put thumb on hammer during a reholster, eliminating a safety benefit of DA guns.
The TFO sights are neat but have too many drawbacks (extra wide front sight, durability issues).
