My take- and my own experiences.
As for the pistol itself: Never cared for it. Used it in the Army, wasnt terribly confident with it- reliability-wise, or stopping-power wise (for ANY 9mm for that matter)
1 issue I had repeatedly- with both brand-new models, as well as beat to hell and back issue models- That exposed trigger bar on the outside of the frame. HUGE no-go@ this station. The thing is too easily bent, loosened or otherwise damaged or fouled just in general carrying around, much less in action.
When that thing fails, it can either render the pistol inoperable completely, or to lesser degree, can cause the trigger to not reset properly.
You end up having to push the trigger back forward to reset, with the trigger finger, to fire the next round.
If that's going to be the case, you might as well be armed with a flintlock. One shot, stop, push trigger fwd, one shot, repeat.
How that design ever got approved, I have not the foggiest idea.
A bud of mine, a Naval Officer currently serving, was home on leave a yr. or so ago. He' bought a brand-new, in the box 92. His reason being it was the same as his issue sidearm, and was familiar with it's use.
We took it to the range for his 1st time firing it. Worked ok at 1st. But by the 3rd magazine (brand -new) began to malfunction. The floorplate of that magazine seperated completely from the rest of the mag while I was firing it. All the remaining rounds spilled out onto the floor at my feet.
Imagine that happening to you at the worst possible moment: The opponent would likely die laughing at you, more than any chance of those rounds killing him.
As for the round... 16 9mm (of ANY load) vs. 8 of .45? Plz. History on almost every battlefield since WWI has settled that debate many times over.
You'll likely need all 16 of those rounds to stop anyone serious about doing you or yours harm. Not an opinion.
A well-documented fact.
