I have close to 7,000 rounds though my Gold Lite. I eliminated the mag disco, and did the slingshot mod, and its a very accurate, reliable pistol. I have 2 other 22/45s, both steel uppers, and the LITE has a bit more "jump" when shooting because its lighter. I think its an excellent pistol for trail use, hunting, and camping. I would strap it on, if I was going to carry a 22 pistol all day, long before the steel pistols, because it is so light. I dont see any downside to it, compared to the steel pistols.
