Hi, guys,
Looking forward to Lavan's report, but maybe he won't mind a little preview.
Sights atrocious, though the triangle idea keeps turning up like a bad penny. Trigger pull is long and usually creepy. Magazine is hard to load and certainly does not "drop free". 180 degree safety is definitely not designed for rapid use. Firing pins break tips regularly; each military holster had a spare. Bolt stop is non-existent; holdopen is by the follower and removing the magazine lets the bolt go forward. Disassembly is easy, but tricky.
Power is not impressive; the original load is a 100 gr bullet at 1000 fps. Recoil is negligible and the gun is nice to shoot once one gets over the initial feel of the whole thing.
Jim
