Friday I stopped in a crowded little gun shop to pass some time and casually search for the above auto. Much to my surprise the salesman said that he had one in stock and brought it out to fondle. The three dot sights on it are orange and it took about a minute to decide to buy it. Today I took it out for a short time to break it in and see what ammo would shoot through it.

It shot and handled CCI mini mags, Federal 710, Remington Thunderbolts, Remington Golden Crap, Winchester XPerts HP, Blazers, American Eagle, Federal Auto Match, Federal 510, Winchester 333, Winchester Wildcat and Federal bulk.

It took about 100 rounds to get the slide worked in to function all the time but after that it functioned without a hiccup. It would not extract the Aguila Supermaximum Hyper Velocity although it would fire it. I didn't try out any of the other hyper rounds in it due to time.

It has an adjustable rear sight for windage but I didn't take a bench or set up targets just went out to test ammo in it. Shooting at 100 yard targets with it seemed like it needed no adjustment left or right and was able to hit a 2x3 foot cardboard box about 2-3 times out of 10. Another trip out in the future will check out the sight settings with a rest and targets for final adjustments.

Looking for a suitable holster for it and after cleaning it out and lube it the trigger in double action mode is smoother and the single action mode is acceptable. Looking forward to carrying it for a plinker while out hunting big game and upland birds. These are hard to find rascals and now I see why!!!!!!
