Neat little pistol.
Picked up on fri NIB.
First thing I noticed was this thing is shipped with copious amouts of grease. A good cleaning and lube gave me an appreciation of the fit, tight! The finish is a satin nickel with no tool marks. Grips are comfortable and much better than the Thunder 380 I have.
Break down is simple, pull the slide back a little, push down the lever on the right side, pull the slide back and up. Fixed barrel, recoil sping, and slide, that it.
To the range.
Nice big useful front sight, adjustable rear sight left and right only.
Manual says use only high velocity so I took some Aquila HV, some Remington HV Golden bullet HP, Centurion HV, and some Blazer. 300 rounds , not one problem.
At 10 yds it initially shot to the left so after adjustment I found with the 6 o'clock sight picture it shot high, sight picture the target and it was dead on. Probably from a lack of up and down adjustment.
Old eyes and bifocals managed two inch groups.
It is not a Ruger Mark One but all in all a fun plinking piece.
I like it. Of course it will not be in the big bore carry rotation but it was a fun well built, plinker for cheap practice.
Came home and heard those dreaded words "Thats cute" I want to try it. :banghead: Thats how I lost my Smith 649. Oh well, an excuse to buy something else.
