I finally took it out and shot it for the first time. I was kinda worried since several people mentioned problems with it. I've got a 2003 date code on it and the A series mags.
I shot 100 rounds of CCI mini mag, 100 rds of Remington high velocity hollow point, and 200 rounds of remington brass plated hollow pointes from a 525 round value pack.
All I can say is that it kicks butt. The only problem I saw was that I had one round that did not fire but when I pulled the trigger on it again it went boom and no other problems. At first when I put a loaded magazine in it and would hit the slide release it would not go all the way forward but after a few mags that problem stopped. The accuracy was crap at first cause it was shooting low and right. But once I got the back sight adjusted and a higher front sight, that came with it, put on it shot great.
My overall impression of it was very good. It's also quite easy to clean.
