Larry...I had one of those. Nice gun, very accurate but jammed regularly...every couple mags full. Also did not care for the grip all that much. Currently looking for a new carry gun so I'll be watching this thread carefully.


Dan mine also had issues when it was new. Mine had a sharp pronounced edge where the feed ramp on the barrel leads into thte chamber. A buddy helped me radius and polish that area. I also replaced the standard factory recoil spring with a heavier variable rate recoil spring. I have over 600 rounds through mine now and it works like a timex now. Mine seems a little fussy about how much I taper crimp my ammo also as it seems to have a really tight chamber.

I also replaced the factory sights with XS Sight Systems 24/7 Sights. I really, really like these sights for what this handgun is used for.

I also recently finished working up a load using 200gr. Hornady XTP Hollow Points with W-231 Powder. I haven't chronographed it yet but they sure shoot good.
