Well I did it.. I went and got it today, and fired a few rounds through it. It is my first quality pistol that Ive ever owned, and I hope I like it as much as I think I will. I also have a friend living close by, who is a retired Highway Patrol, Very high ranking, and has been ranked number 1 in the state for pistol shooting, and he highly recommended the gun and said he would teach me to shoot well. I cant wait to start shooting accurately.
