    Nice little pistol. It came yesterday from J&G. I paid for an extra mag and to hand pick it. I wouldn't say it's VG, but it's good.

    That double action is cRaZy hard to pull.

    It's so damn cool to have it delivered to your front door! ***:thumbsup:***

    The safety will loosen up if it is super tight. The hammer spring can easily be replaced to fix the DA trigger.

    Invariably when I take new shooters out, that is the handgun they want to shoot. It does look James Bond cool.:thumbsup:

    I have heard the trigger pull is very very heavy on these guns. How hard is it to replace the springs and how much does it actually improve the pull. Also who sells the spring kits.

    When they went C&R last year a bunch of us got them and there were many who changed the springs. I didnt though. Good info here also > http://p64resource.com/forum/

    I find this little pistol to be very accurate. I was lucky last year and got one of each hammer type in my order. One looks like it was never fired There are not even slide marks on the frame rails!

    You will have fun with it.

    The trigger pull was more than "very, very heavy" on mine. It was impossible.

    I installed the 18 pound spring from Wolff, and it made the pistol shootable. Still on the heavy side, but shootable. The ergonomics aren't great for me, since I have small hands. It's like the pistol was deliberately designed for large hands, which is great if you have large hands.

    Still, it is a solid, high quality pistol, pretty cool, neat range toy that could serve in a more serious role if necessary.

    It does have a few nicks here and there: It is definitely not new. I guess I got really lucky.

    I was going to bitch to them, but maybe I should put it though it's paces and see how it fairs, first. I don't see any red where my safety is supposed to be...see pic.

    If I bitch I'll have to pay two more shipping charges and that will piss me off more, I think.
