Good Mornin fellow R51'rs,

Sitting here looking out at the 1st snowfall this year in good 'ol Virginia.

New to the pistol (just picked it up last week).  Been reading and watching videos about it for about a year and decided to take the plunge.  Prices are now very reasonable, got mine for $236 all in.

Went to the range and put 120 rounds through using Blazer 115's and some homemade 124 BBI coated black bullet.

It ran very well, only issue was racking the 1st round about 2x, I ran many strings at 7+1 and had no hangups.  It is a little snappy but very controllable and as advertized less muzzle rise.  Also love the feel, weight, size and the fact that the frame is 7075 aluminum.

Watched the Remingtom video and field stripping was no big deal at all, I really don't know what everyone is complaining about.

Overall no buyer remorse and very satisfied, looking forward to a few more range sessions, cleanings, and breaking it in.

L8r,
