Well, RikWriter, you are a lucky fellow, didn't have a problem "nib". Me, I'm pissed. Yeah, it works great after much aggravation. Fit and finish, especially that mirror deep blue is fine. Accurate as any handgun I've shot, even Les Baer. However, for the price, I expect it to work great out of the box, not after 3 months of agita. Don't think I'd buy another, but, now that this one's working right, will definitely keep her. I would be interested to hear from guys that bought one recently to see if they cleaned up their QC problems. Might rethink another purchase.
