I was intrigued with the platform and decided to dive in and hope. I’m so very glad I did. This magnificent piece of art is just outstanding from the box. First shots were as smooth as last ones, and no break-in needed. It’s well balanced and the grip is just right, it firmly secures and holds steady. After maybe 600 rounds it feels just as right as round 1. The only one thing I’m considering to upgrade is the front sight. Simple statement: best overall possession in my safe. Thank you Bud’s!
