    I have purchased three in the past year. One for myself and one for my each of my sons.
    The early ones have a "pot metal" barrel bushing, use a magnet to check. If you have such contact American Tactical and they will send you a FREE replacement.

    Shooting wise we have had excellent results, these things eat anything we have run thru them. As for accuracy my oldest can split playing cards at about 30 feet on a fairly regular basis.

    For the money I feel they are a Good Value .

    John,

    Have you had any operation issues? I had heard the slide was hanging up on some of them. And to watch out for an extra spring when you take it down.

    I have not had any problems.. But I have only used High Velocity ammo. The manual says you can use Standard Velocity but I have not tried any. That may be where some are experiencing problems.

    As far as extra spring.. I have not seem any in just a regular field stripping. It does have a hollow hex or allen screw on the right side you need to remove before disassembly. Other than that it is like a 1911.
