I picked it up 18 months ago!

I have shot it multiple times and love the pistol. I have adjusted the two stage trigger to my liking. The sights are so good I just can not make myself put a red dot on it. It likes CCI Standard Velocity ammo (what gun doesn't???). It is superbly accurate but of course with only using the open sights I am not shooting it to its accuracy limit, even rested on the bench.

My only complaint (which is not really relevant as I do not intend to scope it or put a red dot on it) is the rail system is European and takes special rings. Yes, I know they are available. Also, you have to demount the scope to field strip the gun for a thorough cleaning, which I insist on doing after every range session. The slide can not be removed with a scope or red dot in place. That's two complaints but that does not diminish my love for the gun! Some guns were just made to shoot with open sight and this gun is one of them (the sights are classic perfect target sights!).
