It was a fine .44 Remington Magnum power level semi-auto that was reliable and outstanding accuracy potential. I really like the dual spring arrangement and short recoil principal. But it was not without minor faults.
Sighting and provision for optics were a bit if a chore.
Small part fatigue and some frame battering and cracking was also an issue but would take considerable use to manifest itself.
I was blessed to be able to procure one to play with and test to my great satisfaction. I could not "see" the silver front sight but it shot great. I even shot "lead" cast bullets from mine. EGADS! Worked perfectly. I do remember one anxious 30 minutes of searching the pasture grass for a dropped "bolt accelerator" piece. Whew....
