My own little slice of Purgatory
Picked up one of the Grade A PSPs from CDNN. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=298335&highlight=psp Unfortunately I've had it for 3 weeks without the chance to shoot it. So today, I spent my lunch at the range to run it through a very brief test.

I only had some 147 gr JHPs over Unique and some 124 gr LRN loaded...since I'm pretty sure polygonal rifling and lead bullets don't get along, I only took the 147 grainers.

I had 3 mags...the one that came with it, a new factory mag and a "demo" mag from CDNN. All mags loaded easy and seated positively in the well. The pistol sits very low in the grip and that, along with the weight of the pistol, really helps control felt recoil.

The squeeze cocker took some getting used to as my manual of arms is programmed for 1911s/BHPs. Once I got that through my thick skull, it really wasn't an issue. If I ever decided to carry this pistol as a CCW, I'd want to shoot it A LOT to program how it works.

The trigger is really light and crisp but has a lot of takeup. Once I had it dialed in, it was easy to shoot well.

Reliability through a couple of hundred rounds as perfect...no FTF or FTE. The piston, as reported by others, does get got after a few mags...I had to shoot other guns to let it cool otherwise it became uncomfortable.

I only shot at 7 yards as I was testing function mostly. Most round hit POA. The pic shows 50+ rounds into one target. Obviously the sights need to be adjusted a bit to the right. The low rounds are because I'm fighting a nasty flich that causes me to either mash the trigger or anticipate the recoil and push the muzzle down. When I relax and don't fight the recoil, everything works as advertised.

Fun gun...accurate, reliable and very interesting.
