I've had my BG since Sept.. Best gun I have by far. I can and can't say I wish I'd waited because I've been using it (EAA SN) since then and it has been flawless in all areas after over 400 rnds at the range. What I wanted to say to all others that paid the higher price...It's the early bird that gets the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.
