Just an expression on the question - I wouldn't be hanging around here if people got called names for not knowing the name of some part of a pistol. Anyways, it shoots... about as well as I do. I've been having problems with "pushing" the gun forwards right before firing, like anticipating recoil - I only have 200 rounds through it. Hopefully, I'll shoot a little straighter after I'm through with that pack of 1000.
I do get pretty tight groups, however. Oddly enough, I had some jamming problems (slide not cycling fully) on the first trip to the range with range ammo, but they disappeared on the second trip with Ammoman NATO suplus ammo. I have the sights that came on it - 3 red dots, though the rear sight is black, while the front sight blade is stainless like the rest of the gun. Upon close inspection, the dustcover does appear to be slightly angled towards the muzzle. Came with a cable lock, which makes a nice emergency bike lock. It's way to flimsy to prevent a criminal from using it, IMHO.
Hey, I wonder if I can put a warning on the front of the slide, something like "Get out of here, punk!"
