They're pretty fantastic for the cost, doubly so now that their grip textures have been updated and are finally aggressive enough for my taste. Weight CoM is a bit different than a full steel, but besides that I'm a huge fan. Direct mount RMR is a positive in my book.

I went with the vudoo. The entire thing's stainless so I'm not so worried about scuffing the cerakote. Big deciding factor for me was getting a cheely e2 with it at a better price.

Bullet flip slide rack because I have eye-hand coordination and it confirms that the round is out of the gun to me, slide to the rear for the RO to see, hammer down downrange, gun go in holster

Burkett reloads will 100% help this.

It's easier to improve the grip off the gun in order to see the gains on the gun. Rice bucket training 3-4x a week, have it be something to focus on in dryfire, and hope it meshes when the timer beeps. Worrying less about it in matches and more about it in non-livefire training helped me the most.

I've been in the same boat as this, struggling to tell if I'm actually target focusing during matches. In training it's easy to tell, but in matches once I've plotted in that stage I'm not paying enough attention to be sure.
