A curiosity purchase, nothing more, other than the desire to have a gun that needs less love and can be taken out in harsh conditions (e.g. fishing, boating). First thing: This is an absolutely ugly freaking gun, just as expected. It is also darned heavy with an awkward weight distribution. HOWEVER, this was reasonably accurate and precise at the range (6" patterns out to 15yds) and successfully fed and fired factory reloads and new Winchester ammo with no failures. Only had problems chambering hallow points with anything less than a violent working of the slide. (And yes, it's always said a full and firm action of the slide is important for any semi-auto handgun, but this was truer here than for any other gun I've used, none of which have ever failed to feed the first rounds from the magazine for me.) Basic cleaning can be done from an open action, no disassembly required per the manual, until 1500 rounds! Amazing, by then the ammo costs will far exceed the cost of the gun, and I may just buy a new one (no, I'm not that lazy, but...). It really shouldn't be possible to get a gun with this level of performance for this cost. Buds was great on this shipment, as was their preferred FFL.
