Just bought a pair of these the other day. Went to the SASS convention in Vegas and met Wolfbait. He'd been shooting a pair of these for a year and answered every question I asked. He and Navy Arms sold me on these guns. Great action and feel to them.
 Only thing I forgot to ask him was what kind of load does these pistols like? I haven't shot these yet as the weathers been to wet when I've had the time. Anybody else shoot any of these pistols before?

Andrew-  Got me a pair from Navy A.   First thing I did was to replace the nipples with Treso brand nipples.  The orig. ones were way short or too small.  CCI #10 would fall off b4 you could shoot.  Remi #11 caps will stay on and go off every time.
  I load them with 20gr  3f Ele or Goex a .375 rnd ball and top it with crisco or the like.   They shoot real nice.  Can go 10 stages w/o a problem.

Let's bump this back up.  I'd like to hear some comments, too!  I'm thinking about getting a pair.
