This video provides shooting impressions of the EAA Girsan MC28SA TV pistol, featuring an ADE optic. The reviewer conducted an extensive "What's for Dinner" ammunition test, cycling through ten different loads to assess reliability, cycling, and slide lock functionality. The pistol demonstrated good ergonomics, a pleasant trigger, and manageable recoil, with the optic holding zero throughout the testing. While generally reliable, the gun showed sensitivity to certain ammunition types, particularly lighter loads and steel-cased ammunition, leading to softer ejection and occasional cycling issues.
