I hadn't seen one in person until it arrived, but first impressions are that it looks, feels and should preform as well as advertised. Topped it with a Trijicon SRO. Looking forward to getting it to the range.

Negatives out of the way first;

The Ramrod is Poo-Poo. You technically would need to assemble it everytime you bring it out as it will not sheath fully erect. (You, Grow up you! Neeerd Review) the solution is to forgoe the sissy handle attach your extention from out the brass fitting where the handle would go. This probably might solve some of the breaking issues, moving the brass fittings together. I will say, it gives you mean Dragoon Hang out the front. But, I think the brass protrusion looks cool and it's technically ballistically sound, so whatever.

Its obviously front-heavy so I would have liked a weighted handle to help the efficacy of aiming one handed, as, it is a pistol first if practically still a rifle. I must again, modify it myself, thats fine.

Lastly, the sights. Or, lack thereof. A stupid in line iron sight is all we ask, really. Its honestly an "Out of Box" Convenience thing because "Pew Pew" pistol and because authentically the "the holes, man". I know its a small gripe because honestly, "upgrade to peep sights immediately". Anyway.

Honorable Mention Gripe;

I would have liked the option for a muzzle break, too, myself also. However? It is already stupid long and also its very short, carrying and loading both would be a nightmare, probably. But, options, bro. Lol.

I have one praise in that; the rifling subtly seems particularly aggressive in bite, which I suspect is intentional to compensate for pistoling.

The price is right, aftermarket sucks a bit.

What a pistol to bad it doesn't come with a muzzle brake
Iike the cva scout pistol does

I swapped out the parts so it matched my rifle to shoot muzzle caps. I wish it would have came with the muzzle cap option to spare the extra expense.
