1000 rounds through the A400, not a single malfunction, and it is an absolute pleasure to shoot. When I'm on (trap, 16-20 yard line) I can consistently get 22-24, averaging 86 when I shoot 100's. When I'm off, well I'm off but those days are happening less and less. It seems like it shoots just a little dirty, but this is my first gas gun so I'm not certain if I am seeing more carbon than is normal, but its an easy clean. Currently using a Briley light full extended choke, its giving me good dust clouds when I do my part.
Would I buy another A400? In a heartbeat.
One more observation: I shoot at the trap range on Wright-Patterson AFB, lots of guys there with some records. Incredibly friendly crowd, lots of good advice goes out, especially when my wife comes shooting too. What I have noticed though is the advice is great when I'm shooting around 20/25 or less, as soon as I start getting closer to 25 it switches to grumbling about getting a shell catcher, but still good-natured. I don't really plan on getting a shell catcher.
