Well I got home a little while ago to find a new Storm Lake 6" barrel, stainless guide rod and spring kit in the mail! Barrel and springs installed with no problems. The barrel locks much tighter into the slide with no play whatsoever. I had some double tap 230 gr loads on hand so I shot it a few times. Results......about a 2.5" 5 shot group around the center bull! The first shot actually went dead center and I about fell out of my chair. Lol! This was with factory sights. I'm guessing it would do mucg better with a better shooter.
