The two-tone pistol that I judged before I shot it and then apologized for

I'm not going to pretend I wasn't judging it. The slide was one color and the frame was another and my first thought, if I'm being completely honest, was that it looked ridiculous. I only picked it up because a friend asked me to give it a fair shot.

So I did and then I felt a little embarrassed about myself.

The ergonomics were excellent, the trigger was better than anything in that price range had any right to be. The groups came back honest and repeatable every single time. It just ran..

Here's where I landed...the color is still ridiculous and I stand by that. But the gun is excellent and I stand by that too. I turns out those two things can both be true at the same time, and I should have known better than to make up my mind before I ever pulled the trigger.
 
That’s a great takeaway, it is easy to judge looks but the range doesn’t lie. I am glad it proved itself where it counts
 
Ugly guns that run just right are a humble reminder. I had a scruffy trade-in once that outshot everything else on the table that day.
 
Easy trap to fall into. A lot of gear looks odd until it proves itself on the range..function tends to be a better judge than first impressions.
