Daryl,

It basically works no different than a Glock--stricker fired..but does not have the little center safety on the trigger like a Glock does..

The grip angle is much more user friendly IMHO, than the Glock.. for me, because of the angle of a GLock, shooting instinctively point and shoot, I am always a bit low-1" or 2..so,, I always aim for the top of the head..

TO be totally honest, of all the handguns I have purchased in the past couple of years, I probaby like shooting the H&K VP9 the most..very comfortable, deadly accurate, metal mags for clearing when empty, and grip angle is perfect... I also really like the GLock 19X.. again, not such a fan of grip angle, but have shot so many 1,000's of rounds through a Glock, I have grown accustom to it..
