I love it. The quality is there. You can see that the performance center went the extra mile to make sure that the action is smooth. The satin finish is nice and scratches are easy to remove with fine auto body type sandpaper. The original red white and blue grips are very confortable for me after I touched up the upper portion which I felt extended too high. Massad Ayoob reviewed this gun on pg. 8 of Guns Magazine, August 2010 edition and he liked it so much that he used it to win IDPA 1st Master and decided to buy it. As to how it shoots I'll have to let you know once the snow melts here in upstate NY.
