www.fragoutmag.com During this several months we neither lubricated nor cleaned the weapon (although its disassembling for clean- ing is trivially simple, in our opinion simpler than in the Glock), and despite this the only problems which we en- countered were two misfires caused probably by ammuni- tion quality (unfortunately we cannot recall its brand). One of the cartridges fired after the second attempt, the next could not manage even during the fourth attempt... The weapon has an external coating - after a half-year period there are noticeable abrasions in the oxidation of the slide, in the area of the front grooves and a lever for disassembling which most probably are caused by the holster. A level of dirt depends on the shooting intensity and ammunition quality. You can see in the photos in what places and on which elements of the weapon the greatest amount of the dirt build-up occurred after firing circa 1200 shots with the ammunition of the various manufacturers (we used mainly the S&B, Magtech, Winchester and Fiocchi ammunition, from 115 grams up to 136 grams). During shooting the gun is easy to control – there is not much of recoil, particularly if you have flashlight attached. You can shoot with it accurate double taps without any problems, and it is not tiring for a shooter even during pre- cise shooting. The SFP9 does not jam even during shoot- ing with the "limp wrist" what is rather rare in the pistols with the polymer frame. A return spring of the slide puts a clear resistance, but you do not need to fight with it dur- ing reloading. It can be done smoothly and quickly. The magazine release lever is very user friendly. The magazines drops out from the grip very easily, and their inserting to the mag well is very simple – a hollow in the hand grip has a favorable profile. De-cocking the catch from the rear po- sition makes no problem even the levers are very flat. Full loading of the magazines is very easy and does not require supporting by a loader, and ensuring a control of the load- ing level is quite legible (a vertical row of 11 holes on the right side of the rear wall of the magazine). Following the cartridges, regardless of a level of the magazine loading, is certain and we had no jams.
