This was my first transaction with Buds and I have to say that I am pleased. The gun came quickly to my FFL. I had read other's reviews regarding barrel length and not getting what they expected. More often than not this was expecting the 3.6" shown in early pictures (Bud's has since updated) and receiving the 4.5". I had the reverse. I wanted the 4.5" and received the 3.6". I did some research and apparently the issue is not Bud's issue. EAA has the sae SKU for both barrel lengths. Many people are having the same issue with other vendors due to this odd aspect of EAA's business practices. I called Bud's to inquire about a return and apparently they do not open the boxes prior to shipping to maintain the integrity of the shipment and since the SKU is the same, an inspection might not help anyway as it would match my order. I decided to keep the gun as I would risk the same thing happening again on a retun shipment. I also like the gun and can order a full size slide for 9mm and other calibers later on for ~$200.
Onto the gun itself. Like a new baby fresh from the womb, it is swimming in goo and needs a quick cleaning. Breakdwon is a breeze, so this is not a big deal and you can have it ready for business in a short amount of time. It feels great in the hand and the action is nice. I have not yet had a chance to take it to the range, but cannot wait to deflower it. For the price, I would say it is a no brainer, especially when you consider the versatility of different barrels and calibers.
