I agree about the handle being a little fat, Its just about comfortable for me and my medium hands but think you would struggle with small hands.
Its chunkier than the prototype!
I do seem to remember Andy mentioning something about having to thicken the shell up in places for strength so I would double check before taking a grinder to it heh.

I wear a size large men's glove so I don't think that's the issue. I checked the Sinden vs my Glock and front to back they are about even. Side to side the Sinden is fatter (might be close to the large frame .45 / 10mm Glocks - mine is 9mm). Also the Glock is more rounded at the corners which makes a big difference in the feel. A bit funny to me since the Glock is often criticized for having too fat of a grip.
I pulled one apart to check the inside and sure enough the finger grooves (swells? ridges? not sure what to call them) are not solid so I can't just grind them off. I may try filling with epoxy then grinding but that's a lot more involved than I want to tackle right now. The trigger switch is very small and soldered to the PCB so no easy way to swap that out for something with a stiffer click.
I did put a red dot on the rail and that works really well. Should be even better once I figure out how to add a stock.
Edit:I did order a new projector as well. Now that I have a light gun that works well, I'm far more motivated to play more.

That doesn't sound great. What kind of microswitch is it? Does it look like quality parts inside?

I'm no electronics expert but something like one of these:

Quality looked fine but I did not look for a brand or anything. I was hoping for the larger switches typical in arcade push buttons. Switch was soldered into the PCB and mounted with two screws.

Well, that's ---smurfing--- dumb.

Yeah I would of liked a arcade style micro in there just so it would of been easier to mod etc.
Still they look and feel like a quality switch and the PCB in general looks well made.
Prob would not be that hard to jerry rig one in but I dont think it would be worth the effort.
I was talking to someone yesterday though about increasing the first stage travel by bending the lever arm a little or notching out the trigger arm a few mm.
Of course these are more opinion related mods not required heh.
