I wish him the best with it. It's not the lowest priced new S X S, the Turkish Yildiz probably is, at $479.

The two big things that the gun needs to pass successfully are trigger pull and barrel regulation. If the barrels are regulated with at least one suitable load you can remedy the triggers if they're too heavy. Many Turkish guns are these days.

My Yildiz is regulated perfectly, but had a hard trigger (about 8 lbs.) until I did a "trigger job" on it. Now it's good in that department, at about 3 1/2 lbs. Three of us got .410s at the same time, and had to rework the triggers on all three. But, for the $$$, who can complain? I've got a DHE Parker in the shop right now having the triggers tuned and lightened. Sadly, big dollars doesn't always guarantee good triggers.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
