I have one and so does a buddy. They seem to run very well and are pretty accurate. Handy-dandy built in rail allows you to easily mount a cheapo red dot.

I have had one for a couple of years now and It has been very reliable. Just watch out for the little spring that works on the slide release when you remove the handle. It will take off. I actually had to give mine a little extra bend on the end to keep it in it's seat. I just wish it had a handy dandy rail on the bottom of the barrel for a light.
Peace,
gordon

I have one and love it, never had a single problem with it. I sent it in for the new firing pin and it took 7 days to get it back, not bad service IMO.

wow, 7 day turn around isnt bad at all. I wonder if i order a new one if it would have been repaired already? IM really interested in it as all ive heard were good things (until i saw the recall)
