Well Db - I think you made a fine choice. I'm sure you will find that once you find its pet load, it will be an excellent shooter. Just remember to clean her up after a shooting session. Expecially in the nooks and crannys. Strip her down and scrub it with a toothbrush if you have to. (I ususally used my wife's). And apply a quality gun oil on it and it will last you a long time.
