Brand new out of the box, and ready to go for combat or recreational shooting. Nice feel and trigger pull, great features, highly good combat accuracy. Expensive, but definitely worth the pricetag.

Out of the box, and just cleaned and lubricated. Performance. Test. 9 magazines (90 rounds) 6 fired by an experienced shooter, 3 by an inexperienced shooter. Awesome combat accuracy. Quickfired and and target-aimed fire used. Nice feel, good, light recoil, easy, simple and highly visible sights. Interchangable backstrap size might need to be reduced for shooters with small hands. 1 extractor error (round cought by sideways during extraction). Ease of use for inexperienced shooter. Great single action trigger, long slow double action trigger, that will hopefully become nicer with use. Never got very hot even during quickfire test. Ammo: cheap factory PMC's. 230 grain, ball ammunition.

Compares favorably in initial test with other full-sized combat style pistols tested from Glock, Baretta (though I do love the M9/92), Springfield, Colt and Walther.

Very tight gun out of the box, very good standards. Nightsites, ambidexterous mag release and slide lock, recoil reduction, right hand/left hand decocking and safety lever, o-ringed barrel, very nice trigger pull in single action. Comes with 2 magazines and lock.

Wishlist: Leaves very little else to be desired, possibly some other sight packages though these are nice.
