This pistol seems to require good recoil resistance in order to cycle properly. My friend had some jams caused by insufficiently stiff arms and wrists. Once these were reinforced a bit, the jams stopped. The last round of the mag (no. 9) frequently did not feed all the way in. Perhaps the mag springs are a little weak or the mag needs to be cleaned and lubed. Some of the mags I used needed to be hit pretty hard into the grip in order to fully engage the butt mag latch. The sights are first rate. The rear site is fully adjustable. The front sight has a highly visible red insert which lines up well with the notch on the rear sight and its white insert. I cannot judge accuracy from this one outing. I will try the pistol from a bench rest next time. The single action trigger is mediocre, not nearly as good as the triggers on my two Smith and Wesson 2206's, but usable nevertheless. The grip is comfortable to hold and with the six inch barrel, balance is good. There is almost no recoil so that a second shot doesn't require much adjusment to get back on target. Disassembly and reassembly revolve around the slide stop, which is somewhat difficult to get out and then back in. I used PMC Predator ammo. No misfires but the pistol had a lot of dirt after firing perhaps 60-70 rounds. The manufacturer rcommended that only Winchester ammo be used and I will try some on the next test. Both kinds of ammo are soft, hollow point, not the FMJ which would probably be least likely to jam. All in all, a promising start with an unusual pistol which has gotten mixed reviews over the years.
