This prevents accidental discharge if the gun were to be dropped. When it comes to safety mechanisms, the G2C is “loaded”! It has an internal striker block that keeps the firing pin from moving forward unless the trigger is pulled. You can see those comparisons here: Recoil rankings. The G2C also has relatively low recoil compared to other 9mm guns of similar size. You can see the results and how the G2C compares to other popular pistols here: Tension Rankings. This was further validated when I measured the slide tension.
The deep and somewhat sharp slide cutouts made it easy to grasp the slide and it felt easy to pull back. It’s made from metal instead of plastic, which may be a contributing factor. I had no such trouble with the G2C magazine, which ejected quickly with plenty of force. I’ve been frustrated before by magazines that don’t quickly drop when I press the release button wasting precious time to coax it out with my left hand. I don’t have a preference one way or another, but I noticed that the sights are low-profile and similar to the M&P Shield.
I also appreciate the aggressive stippling which only appears on the portions of the grip that are most beneficial for locking the gun into your hand. First, my hand fits comfortably around the grip and the finger rests are convenient. There are several things I love about the ergonomics of this gun.
