I decided not to wait until tomorrow to go to the range, I just could not wait. All of my targets were placed at 12 yards and they were printed from the internet. I basically print 20-30 at a wack as opposed to going to the store and paying money for paper! Here are pics:

20-rounds of 115gr. Winclean

20-rounds of 115gr. UMC

The first target I did not really try concentrating, just firing to see how the gun snaps. As you can see from the second target, I put 3 shots dead center, another group with several shots at 9 o'clock, and then another group at about 7 o'clock right outside of the red ring. I like this gun. I had a few flyers, but that is to be expected I suppose. The recoil is minimal with Winclean, UMC, and Independance ammo. I liked the UMC the best (go figure that one!). As you can see from the 3 shots dead center, this gun shoots very accurately when the user aims and concentrates. ;) ;) The trigger is definetely different, but by the end of my range trip, I got comfortable with it. Like I said before, it is a little bit spongy, but the pull is even and it seems to break nicely. :D
 
I thought as much from the ammo you indicated, but I asked anyway...

I found that during the initial clean it was difficult to get the release pin out and especially hard to get back in. This gets easier after about 700 rounds. I found the best way to get the pin back in prior to this break-in was to pull the visible part of the spring down with a very small screwdriver.

You may want to use this site if you have other questions, it's fairly inactive but useful.
