firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted August 28, 2011 Looks veddy veddy good! I wouldnt worry about the low left, thats more than likely grip/trigger squeeze issues and should get better as you get used to the gun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpriest Report post Posted September 2, 2012 I bought one a couple months ago and love the thing. It is more accurate than I was expecting (with the right reloads).Factory trigger is crisp and has a very light pull. Also it looks sweet. I like the black trim on stainless gun. Wood grips look good too. Great gun for the price I got if for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted January 3, 2013 Got one for Christmas from my great wife who always gets me good guns. I am not a pistol shooter and have put about 100 rounds through it. Definitely need some coaching on shooting pistol, but it is a sweet looking gun.............. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted January 4, 2013 Got one for Christmas from my great wife who always gets me good guns. I am not a pistol shooter and have put about 100 rounds through it. Definitely need some coaching on shooting pistol, but it is a sweet looking gun.............. Set up a target 25' away. Point the gun at the bullseye with a firm two handed grip and taking your time see how close you can come to the center without using the sights. Do this for a couple of boxes of ammo to get used to the gun so pointing becomes a natural thing. The gun will be accurate enough right out of the box and after you are comfortable with it you can always try to shoot itty bitty groups if that's your thing.
