Got my new toy today. Will probably shoot it tomorrow. Preliminary evaluation:
1. Trigger - Excellent. A little take up, then a crisp break with no creep and minimal over travel. Would guess it to be about 4-4.5 lbs.
2. Appearance - Stainless with the flats polished and the rest matte. Nice. Beautiful, full grained cocobolo grips. Barrel bushing, and recoil spring plug a little to bright. Wonder if they are cast?
3. Fit and finish - Barrel lock up is rock solid. Slide to frame fit is excellent. It was so tight I had to give it firm nudges to get the slide on and off the frame. Finish is good, but not excellent. The usual complaint of sharp edges. Also, the recoil spring plug looks cheap and the hammer face is very rough w/machine lines on it.
Will give a range report once I have a chance to take her out for a spin.
