Looking forward to running it hard to see if its worth anything. It feels solid in the hand, with a good trigger and good sights.



We will expect a complete report ( please, purty pleeze !! )

Mounted a reflex red dot which I need to bore sight in. Changed to the Glock mag well. Bought some Glock mags as I font own any Glocks (yet). 15 rd. Glock mags are easy to come by. It gets dicey after that but I made out OK.

This is a solid rifle. I agree... $499 is steep for an all polymer stock,relatively short barreled rifle. But I've been itching for a quality pistol caliber carbine for a long time and this fits the bill.

Found Pedersolli will bring them in...nicer looking rig, and they reckon that they've re-engineered the innards for reliability/safety.

...but $2,400.

I got to shoot a friend's, great gun and very handy size.

Totally reliable through he 50 or so rounds I put through it.

They're all over. Just saw them for $479 shipped to your FFL a day or so ago.

My wife shot my Ruger PC 9mm carbine this weekend. She thought it was great. Asked why it wasn't on her side of the bed.

These guns would make fantastic home defense guns.

Bubba, are you running Glock or S&W mags?
