[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2941158, member: 10465"] First of all, I'm very happy with the gun. I ran 400 rounds through it today, just a break-in session really, mostly 40 grain CCI Mini Mags, but a few magazines of Federal Automatch and a few of Aquila. No malfunctions at all, the pistol functioned as it should. The stock trigger is just a shade over 4.0 lbs. It breaks cleanly. I do think it will smooth out and lighten up some with use. As far as accuracy, it's as good as you can shoot it. At 10 yards, just kinda propped up against the side of the stall, to help me steady up a bit, I was keeping them all in a quarter-sized group. I really like shooting those little pigs and ducks on that carnival target they have at Big Boys . I sure do like shooting those paper pigs and those little cute ducks!
