The grip geometry, particularly the high-grip beavertail and double undercut, is a frequent talking point, and most shooters find the FDE finish well-applied and durable. On the range, users report good accuracy and manageable recoil. Reliability is mostly solid across ammunition types, though a handful of owners have noted ammo sensitivity during the initial break-in period. The optics-ready cut is a selling point that comes up often. Buyers appreciate not needing the slide milled. Price gets debated. The MR920 Elite sits above Glock or M&P pricing, and some buyers compare it to Sig Sauer's P320 offerings. Those who feel it's worth the cost tend to cite the ergonomics and factory customization options. Those who don't tend to favor the established brands for parts availability and familiarity. Customer service feedback is mixed. Positive experiences and slow responses both appear in discussions. ## Pricing **12 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Guns Com | $799.99 | | Deguns | $899.99 | | Gunbuyer Com | $989.00 | | Primaryarms Com | $989.00 | | Kygunco Com | $999.00 | | Buds Gun Shop | $999.00 | | Grabagun Com | $999.00 | | Gritrsports Com | $999.00 | | Guns Com | $1009.00 | | Impactguns Com | $1009.00 | *...and 2 more offers* ## Reviews **Average Rating:** 5.0/5 (1 reviews) > **danny84** (5/5): Right out of the box, this pistol ran well and shot remarkably flat. The match grade barrel does demand properly made ammunition, since imperfect reloads gave it trouble.
