Just back from the range, ran 2 boxes through.. These are my findings

It's blast , great fun

it's LOUD, my ear plugs i used for the .22 are no match,
after the first mag, went for full headphones..
My right ear is still ringing

Can't remember last time i shot .45 it was that loud, but that was open air, so i guess that made the difference.

At 10 meter i had a 1 inch group, by the time i moved up to 25 i was shooting pretty crappy.

Recoil is no biggie, it doesn't bother me.. But it is not a light piece of machinery, with a full magazine, after a while, it weighs, might have to do some exercises to improve that.

Loud, did i mention it's loud? Most at the range shoot .22. some shoot 9mm..
The .45 did attract some attention ,and a lot of positive confirmation that it's a nice weapon and all..

No paper pics , forgot the BB in the car.. But i can confirm that several target cards got killed, they are buhbye.


Shot 100 rounds, no real jams, did have 3 failures to battery.. Not big, but still.
Oiled it some more and it was fine again.


shop said the Fiocchi was supposed to burn clean, leave clean brass.
Lies, lies i tell ya ... LIEEES!



Don't have much reference, but tha doesn't look like clean burn to me..that's powder residue.. But i guess that simply means i gotta clean it after use.. which quite frankly is nothing that bothers me...
