This has become our new favorite at the range.
Verry accurate out of the box. Put some hi-viz paint on front sight for low light.
200 mini mags through it no problems.

This gun started to jam on the 3rd time at the shooting range. That was about 100 rounds before jaming problem accured. It's hard to pull the lever to load the bullet in the chamber for firing.

Got a chance to fire this at the range, Very accurate out of the box, very happy with the purchase. Solid gun and quality is great. Only thing i dont like about it is the slider, doesn't slide like a regular semi auto. Just felt weird when i saw how you cock it or load the chamber. Still very happy with the gun.

Took it out the box and did not find any excess grease, nor were there any metal shavings. I gave it a good cleaning and took it to the range. I put 200 rounds of CCI Mini Mag round nose through it with zero problems. The rear sight was easy to adjust and the gun sighted-in very quickly. Accuracy is surprisingly good. The bullets go where you point them.

Field stripping to clean / inspect is a little tricky. Be prepared to see a spring go flying the first time you break it down.

Personally, I would not want a 7" barrel, nor would I want a bull barrel. The 5.5" is just a tad front-end heavy for me, but I'm still happy with it. The only thing I can whine about is the sights are a little crude for such an accurate pistol. I might try a tad of white on the front sight next time and see if that helps.

Fantastic little gun for the money!

I have had this gun for 3 months now. About 500 rounds through it. I find it to be quite accurate, with my old eyes and shakey hands and a BSA red dot sight I can group 3" at 50 yards. During my first 500 rounds the gun would miss fire about 1 in 15 rounds. I tried different ammo with the same results. On 3 occasions the trigger would fail to reset to the firing position. Sent it back to Smith & Wesson. Got it back 3 weeks later with the barrel to slide adjusted. The miss fire problem was fixed but in the next 60 rounds it failed to chamber a round 3 times resulting in a dry fire. 6 times the trigger failed to reset. I found that if you wiggle and tap on the trigger it would eventually fire, very scary!! It's back to S & W again, will see what happens this time and will update this review.

Update:
S & W got the gun back to me in 7 days this time. Took it to the range this morn and 100 rounds fired with no problems. I would give it 5 stars if it had worked that way out of the box. Still very pleased with the accuracy.
