Does any one have any experience with those Whitelightning pistols or rifles?  The pistol looks like a good small game gun.

The gun pictured on that Mitchels Mauser site looks exactly like the "Accelerator" pistol from Excel Arms. I just recieved a flyer from Excel and the list MSR price of $412.00 for the standard pistol. It is a very heavy gun at 54 ounces, OK for a serious varmint gun but a bit much for a "trail gun" or pack along small game back up to a shotgun or centerfire rifle. I have no personal experience with them.
