I'm thinking of starting my own, and the format will be as follows with appropriate "fill-in-the-blanks"...
Intro:
"When I was first asked to review the new offering from ________ I was skeptical at first as to whether _______ could maintain their stellar reputation for quality firearms and still manage to create a gun this affordable."
Unboxing:
"I expected to find a cheap worthless piece of crap, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the fit and finish of this $300 gun was every bit as good (if not better) than my >$1000 __________. The edges were still rough and had unfinished machining burrs which snagged on my clothing. At first glance, this may appear to be a mark of poor quality - but upon further inspection I began to realize that this was a result of careful thought and planning. The rough edges definitely enhance positive retention in one's choice of concealment equipment!"
"It came with only one magazine which holds 5 rounds of .380 which is recognized the world over by police and special forces unit as a proven manstopper. Some may say that 6 rounds seems a bit on the low side as capacity goes, but I find that it's a benefit for weight reduction."
Firing Impressions:
"While normally a quality pistol is reviewed at ranges of 15-20 yds, I feel that this is excessive as this will primarily be a weapon for close-range tactical work. For the purposes of this review, testing was done offhand at ranges of 5 yards."
"I expected that the trigger would be shit, but was amazed to find that it was as good if not better than my $1000 custom __________. It had a 20 lb pull weight, but I'm told this will smooth out over time."
Accuracy
"Offhand, I was amazed to find that I was achieving groups of 24" at 5 yards, although my eyes aren't what they used to be. I imagine with a benchrest/vice, and a younger man's eyes, this could be tightened up somewhat. Still, for practical accuracy - this is totally acceptable. A few rounds did keyhole, but there were no malfunctions or stoppages of any kind in 6 rounds."
Bottom Line
"__________ continues their reputation for quality workmanship at amazingly affordable prices with this gun. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a well made gun. In fact, I've traded out my _______ by SIG/HK/KIMBER for this little gem as my everyday carry piece!"
