I find the Black Shadow to be a very good gun, especially for the money paid!
I' d probably compare it to a Remington ADL, and I think it is a better gun than the ADL. Like ALL new guns the trigger leaves much to be desired. Mine came from the factory with an 8+ pound trigger. I had mine turned down to 3 1/4 pounds and now I can get groups around 1 inch. I would say that the Black Shadow is as good a gun that you can get for the money
