Yeah I got to shoot an early one about 6 months before I got this one and that one did have some issues. Accuracy was 5, sometimes 6 inches at 25 yards and would shoot a flyer every 10-12 rounds. But, I love LWRC and thought the fit and finish were really nice on that gun so when this new generation of SMG's came out I went ahead and took the plunge and bought this one and I'm glad I did because this thing has been everything I'd hoped for. Took it out yesterday and put a 100 rounds through it and at 25 yards it was just blowing the center out of every target. I let my girlfriend shoot it and even though she is very inexperienced at shooting guns, she was still holding a 3 inch group at the same distance from a standing position. It is very sad about the problems from the earlier ones.
