I bought one before Thanksgiving at the local Gander Mountain store. Between hunting season, and, the winter we had, I didn't get to do a whole lot of shooting with it yet. The couple of times that I did take it out, it functioned flawlessly, and it sure is fun to shoot. I even took an evening and made a fancy tooled holster for mine. I liked it so well, that I bought another one for my son for Christmas.
