People have to remember that this is a $500 gun! 1911 can cost up to $2000. If you buy this expecting Mercedes quality then you are just an idiot. You get bang for the buck not premium quality.

Using factory rounds it seemed to work fine. I bought this gun for Action Pistol and was glad until the first match. I had a malfunction on my last stage.
