I bought mine, s/n BDC065X, in March, 1989, the first one I saw, and proceded to shoot the snot out of it. Still have it. It remains just fine. Most were fine. A few were bad. I believe the first ones were rushed out the door and this may have contributed to some spotty quality control.

Gunwriter J. D. Jones (American Handgunner) got a bad one. He sent it back and they returned it to him un-fixed. I don't recall what was wrong but he pissed and moaned about that for years.
