Hi,
No particular reason, I just happened to shoot one some time ago and was suprised by how good it was, shooting wise and for comfort in the hand.
It beat IMHO the German pistols.
Other than magazine capacity, I like it more than the Browning HP.
It is very close to the 1911 .45... I guess you could actually call it a 9mm version of the 1911.
I like .45, but in a Heckler and Koch HK45. I am a big guy, can put some weight behind the gun, but when it comes to a .45 I find wartime 1911s are not a nice shoot, 9mm is way better. Modern 45s may be a different story, the HK recoil reduction system is great in their 45.
There will always be folks in the .45 camp and folks in the 9mm camp... :-)
