I didn't even stop home, hit walmart and headed to the range. It shoots nice, recoil isn't bad. I put 100 rounds through it.

It took me a while to figure out where my brass was landing, It was about 10 yards behind me and 2 to the right.

It's $950 right?

....I await the cost / benefit analysis. Made in MN....If not for Dayton we could have a 10th amendment status on this firearm...like some of the western states.

Yeah, 950.

I had no intention to ever buy one of these but I got invited to get a tour of his shop and the discussion we had with him and showing us from an engineering standpoint(I'm an engineer and have done some research into this kind of thing) I signed up right then and there and got serial number 50 :D

You can buy direct from him and pick up from him? No FFL?

I got to try one a few weeks ago.. very nice... I'm waiting to see how they do after 2000 rounds before I make the plunge. Please keep us updated!

Can't go directly through him, he dropped the first batch for locals off at Als gun shop on E in WBL

When I have time, I'll plan on taking it to OCG or bills if any of you guys want to try it out.

It is definitely a strange looking gun but the fit and finish is like no other gun I've ever handled.

Srigs,

Do you have any already made? I wouldn't mind taking a look at them. There might be a few of these at work at any given moment if you want to show some holsters off some afternoon.
