Well I finally did it. After eyeballing the pistol for about a week, reading countless reviews on line, and handling it at the shop at least twice ( that I'll admit to) I picked up the what will be my starting point for rebuilding my firearms collection. Took it out and was immediately impressed with the way it handled. No hammer bite that which was a main complaint for this model, cycled smoothly and felt very comfortable to shoot two handed weaver style and one handed. All in all I think I'll keep this one mostly stock for good long while. I will be getting slim profile grips for it and a full length guide rod but that will be about it.
