I have one of the first model Vektors, and though alot of people have slammed it, I think it's a pretty nice little gun. The fit and finish are excellent. I have never seen a more highly polished chamber and bore and my life.
It is inherently accurate, I have shot it side by side with my H&K PSP, and if it had a better trigger, it could have given my P-7 a run for it's money.
After the first 50 rounds it has been 100% reliable with over 500 rounds through it.
I also think it's a good looking gun. But that's just me.
Now for the bad news: Well not too bad.
The only bad thing is the trigger. A little heavy and mushy for what is basically a single action trigger, and as far as I know, nobody fixes it.
The gas chamber needs to be cleaned at least every 100-200 rounds. I think this would go with any gas delayed blowback. Shouldn't be an issue unless your involved in some drawn out firefight.
There was a misprint in the original instruction manual and some people thought the gun wouldn't stand up to constant use. This is an error. The gun is similar to any modern firearm in that respect.
The sights are a tad tall, and there is no option to change or modify the rear sight.
The chamber has very tight tolerances and won't reliably feed handloads. I think the Glock has had similar problems with their factory barrels.
Some people don't like the safety in the trigger guard. Not to hard to use if your familiar with the M-14 or Mini-14 safeties.
They have had a recall of the first models, proclaiming a possible discharge if dropped. I haven't dropped mine yet, and don't plan to. Unfortunately this prohibits carrying the piece.
All and all, if the safety issue has been rectified, I'd say go for it. $299 seems to be a pretty good price.
Good luck,
Joe
