Waited a long time for this gun and Firearms Site got it to me fast. Thank You

I have waited and searched for this rifle for outdoor range use for nearly two years. The firearm has always been sold out and unavailable from multiple vendors. Needless to say how thrilled I was to see the product notification. Accurate and without a single feed issue using standard 9mm FMJ’s and SR9C magazines. What a blast to use.

I was able to get this out to the local 25yd indoor range, and all I can say is that this gun is FUN!! It shoots like a dream and is easy to point. I had to adjust the elevation on the sight slightly (was hitting low at 15yds), but otherwise it went bang every time!
