Don't listen to the naysayers who poopoo this pistol and call it cheap or bad. It is set up and sprung for full-power 10mm loads Underwood, Buffalo Bore, and others and trying to use mid-grade, light loaded 10mm loads like factory Sig V-crown, or others in the 1000-1150fps range will turn this gun into a jam-o-matic in short order! Run it with hot factory real 10mm ammo and it runs like a champ! Super accurate and well built with an excellent fit and finish for an off the rack 1911 pistol. This model includes the new steel mainspring housing with the 45° angle lanyard hole through it, so no plastic mainspring housing here and it has a ramped, match grade barrel with a fully supported chamber, a full-length guiderod, tritium night sights, and nice checkering and serrations throughout. Excellent pistol at this price point!
