Initially had a bunch of issues with the slide locking back mid mag that seem to have gone away when I sprayed some lube into it, no idea what was up with that. Sights were great, trigger pull was good (though the reset isn't as stiff as I'd like), but the main issue is that it bites the hell out of my fairly large hands so I don't know that this will stay in my care for too long.

That's a great looking pistol.

Anybody have any tips for blackening the 10-8 flat trigger? I used aluminum black but after a few mags it is already wearing.
