Well, I got the chance to go to the range this morning. I shot two hundred rounds, with absolutely no issues. I shot a mix of ammo, including PPU, Freedom, Herters, and Monarch. All of my ammo was 230 grain, FMJ, brass case. I used the two 8 round mags that came with the pistol, as well as two Wilson Combat 7 rounders I had purchased previously.
The pistol was/is super tight. However, it did seem to loosen up a bit after just a few times of racking the slide at home. I was able to sling shot the slide on a fresh mag. I've read some folks had issues being able to sling shot their new Baers, but it wasn't an issue for me.
The feel of the pistol in my hand is fantastic. When I first handled the pistol, I thought the grip texture was a bit aggressive. I was wrong. The grips, in combination with the front strap checkering, combine to give the shooter excellent grip and control of the pistol.
The trigger break is very crisp, although I don't have a gauge to measure the actual pull. I think the trigger is as good as the Wilson I shot previously, although some of the Wilson owners on the board might disagree.
In summary, I'm very happy with my new pistol. The only negative was I gave myself a small blister on my index finger. Not enough manual labor on my part, I guess.
