Took the gun to the range last Friday and ran about 200 rounds of my reloads through it.

Once I got it sighted in I was able to shoot some pretty fair groups at 50 and 75 feet. I was keeping all shots on a 5" Shoot-N-C at 75'. Nothing to brag about, but about as good as I could do with the heavy trigger. I'll be tweeking the sear spring and checking the sear/hammer this afternoon.

Reliability was pretty good for a new gun, especially with my mid-range reloads (124 grain plated bullet at around 1000fps). I had one failure to feed and the slide didn't lock back twice. Last 60 rounds of the 200 had no problems. The trigger even started to feel better towards the end, but I think I was just getting used to it's 6 pound-ish pull.

Overall it seems to be a nice gun. Give me a few range sessions to get the trigger sorted out and I'll be back with some bragging targets.
