About, if you had to guess, how many rounds have you put down the pipe? Is it a standard GI model? I'm thinking about the Tactical Model with the Novak Sights.  Bill T.

Standard model, with over 2K rounds through it.
I put about 1500 through the first year but work has been spotty to non existent so range time has been as well.

That's good news. 2,000 rounds is nothing to sneeze at. Damn good dependability for a $400.00 gun!  Bill T.

If I get to buy another gun in the foreseeable future it will be the double stack version, I last saw them at J&G for $420, and they use Para mags.

I saw that this morning surfing with my coffee. The price is up to $520.00. Still not bad.   Bill T.

I have one buddy using a RIA shooting IDPA for the last two seasons. The only issue has been one broken recoil spring after 2500+ rounds. A new Wilson spring and it was back up an running.

It's a better gun than the Kimber Solo.

3000 rds. on mine now in 2yrs. Never even as much as a hiccup with anything I feed it! I have the MS model and LOVE it. Everyday carry and the ONLY one in the safe I completely trust 100%.
