Got a 94 with a 5 inch barrel. Great gun for the price, no problems. DA trigger was very stiff but its lightening up a bit. Gets a thumbs up from me as a good value plinker and pretty accurate.

As for the bits of lead flying out and being out of alignment, I'd check that out with a gunsmith and then send back to manufacturer if neccesary. Can't be doing any good to you or the gun.
