Several months back I purchased a SA Micro .45. After I got it, I cleaned, lubed, and headed to the range. I fired about 150 rounds, and had several FTF and FTE. It shot great otherwise, very accurate out to 50 feet. I sent the gun back to SA as they have a lifetime guarantee. It was returned to me in flawless condition 2 weeks later. Since then, I have not had one problem and have put about 500 rounds thru it. Yes, the 3" can be a little finicky at first, but a good going over by a competent smith to de-burr, polish, and file where necessary will make it a very reliable pistol. I am very happy with SA and their product and Customer service.
