First, let me say that I was unsure if my loadings would work at all in this pistol. I loaded 50 cases with 2.3gr Red Dot, 50 with 2.4, and 50 with 2.5. The bullet was a 148gr wadcutter which was seated to the top of the case. Cases were mixed, so I'm not out for match-quality ammo performance, just fun.
I had zero malfunctions, which is more a testimony to the quality of the gun versus my loads. The feel seems to be very standard for a 1911, until you pull the trigger an you get virtually no recoil. For those who aren't familiar with the pistol, it works on straight blowback versus the normal functioning of the 1911. Also, one other interesting part is that the chamber has grooves, perhaps one of the more enlightened members of the forum will expound.
The pistol performed admirably, the groups at 25 feet were all one hole, just as good as any target revolver I've shot in the caliber. The only drawback? Chasing down .38 brass, I can deal with losing a few .45's but to come home without every "revolver" case is annoying.
It might not be the newest pistol on the block, but the way it shoots, combined with the 1911 design, make it a new favorite to shoot.
