Blem Shadow Systems MR920 Combat 9mm Black/Bronze SS-1001
Description
Shadow Systems SS1001 SS-1001: The MR920 Combat is a no-nonsense tactical pistol with features that have historically been reserved for custom guns. The compact-sized MR920 Combat took its inspiration from its predecessor, the MR918 Combat. The DNA of the pistol is the same as the MR918, but there have been some significant changes to the features and function which make this pistol work for more people. The features and price point of the MR920 Combat model make it the perfect EDC pistol. The MR918 frameset a new benchmark for low recoil and controllability in rapid-fire. The MR920 draws many of its design cues from the MR918, but the dust cover now includes a recoil control ledge for the support hand thumb. This control point further reduces muzzle flip in rapid-fire. The frame of the MR920 continues to feature the NPOA backstrap system which adjusts the ANGLE of the backstrap to match the shooter's natural point of aim. The pistol system includes three backstraps, a removable magazine well, and a backstrap removal tool for your convenience.

I know many people who have trained to become very proficient with Glocks, but they just never felt quite right in my Whopper Jr. hands. The MR920 with the low backstrap feels much more natural to use than my Glock 19.5. I also appreciate the other ergonomic improvements more than I expected.
The blemishes on my particular gun don't bother me at all, since I don't own any safe queens and tend to run my equipment hard. You might be able to see some minor machine marks on the slide, slightly uneven barrel finish, and a very shallow/small gouge on the frame in the picture I've attached to this review.
If you'd prefer a pristine gun, it may be worth paying the premium for a non-Blem model, but I definitely appreciate when manufacturers release Blem products that are functionally identical, but more affordable.
