Owners of the Protege X sub-compact generally cite value as the main draw. At its price point, it delivers a functional sub-compact 9mm Luger package with a 7+1 capacity. Quality control comments are mixed, with some owners reporting tight slide movement out of the box that loosened up after a few hundred rounds.

The 3.2-inch barrel and sub-compact frame make it a workable carry option, and the ODG and Black finish gets positive remarks for appearance. Owners who prefer a full grip panel sometimes note that reloading under pressure is trickier with the shorter grip. The trigger draw is the most consistent criticism across ownership comments.

The Protege X sits in an entry-level price tier, which shapes most community sentiment. Buyers comparing it to more established sub-compact options note the trade-offs in finish quality and parts fit. Those coming from budget alternatives tend to rate it more favorably and appreciate the capacity for the size.
