50 rounds of timed fire from 3, 7 and
15 yards starting from a low-point
ready isosceles stance. I modified
this by firing all the drills within the
specified time frames from a concealed
strong-side belt slide holster. Scoring
100 percent was no problem. My
impression is that any adult with
ordinary reflexes, and a bit of practice
should be able to duplicate and likely
exceed my range results.
The Gen 2 is rated for SAAMI
standard pressure 9x19 ammunition.
FMK does not warrant the pistol
for +P rounds at present. Since
FMK gave me carte blanche with
the sample pistol, I did fire a
considerable amount of premium
+P with no functional issues or
visible damage to the pistol. Results
may vary and prudence dictates the
use of standard SAAMI designated
ammunition.
The Gen 2 functioned reliably
with the available array of SAAMI
standard ball and JHP loads and
premium +P loads from Black Hills
and Buffalo Bore. There was one
unexplained trapped case failure to
eject with the S&B ball load but all
others cycled without incident. The
slide lock consistently locked the
slide back on empty and there were
no incidents of premature activation.
Three hundred rounds produced
no discernable wear to any contact
points except for minor finish rubs
on the underside of the slide and a
thin line on the finish at the front of
the chamber lug where it enters the
slide. The Gen 2 pistol is competitive
in terms of utility and quality with
the current crop of subcompact
personal-defense handguns.
American Tactical Imports is the
primary distributor and source of
customer support. This is good news
for FMK Firearms and the consumer
as ATI has earned a solid reputation for
responsible business practices.
