Just back from a couple days shooting. The pistol is well made but not without issues.
The first thing I noticed before I fired it was the firing pin tip had a small piece out of it and was sharp, I fired it on a couple of MT cases and punched a hole in the primer. I filed and stoned it off and still would pierce the primer now and then so I worked at that and about free from holes in the primer, I may change primers as well.
With the rear sight centered in the frame the pistol shot about 8-10 inches to the left, I let two other people shoot it and same thing. I did not like the narrow front sight blade and at the suggestion of friend John I made an offset blade to the left, which worked perfectly. When I went to move the rear sight I found than not only could I move it with my thumb I pushed hard on it and went looking for it on the shop floor. A talked with my friend who has one and his has a set screw so I emailed USFA and was told they don’t use set screw anymore. I shimmed it and it works fine.
The ejector rod would not move more than a couple inches, I took it apart and found the spring bound up, an easy fix.
After two shots the ejector housing screw becomes loose, I’ll have to locate a nylon “O” ring because I need to remove the housing if I want to file some more on the front sight.
I felt that this was a lot of things wrong for a pistol with the reputation and price they have. Our shooting season is coming to a close so I chose to take care of everything myself and not shipping it back and forth to USFA.
More later I have to go clean guns.
