I was like Bill thinking about one of them for years and finally bought one the day before thanksgiving this year in 45 ACP on a pre Black Friday sale. I immediately took it apart cleaned the bore, removed the sights, removed the little rail under the forend and the rail under the barrel this alone was about a half a pound of weight loss.
I mounted a 4 x scope on the top rail and took it to the 50 yard range at my gun club to sight it in. Elevation was pretty close but it was shooting at least 10” right so I kept turning the scope dial until it maxed out and it was still about 3” too far right.
The trigger was very heavy and I decided to quit before wasting anymore ammo.
Since then I have remounted the scope with Millet steel rings since they are windage adjustable and changed out the sear spring to lower the trigger pull. I have not yet had the chance to get back out with it and shoot it some more.
I do have a HP 45 ACP pistol and it is very reliable and accurate and it will share magazines with the carbine so I believe the carbine will be the same when I get it set up right. Their ugliness doesn’t really bother me
