Pictures and a review please.

I'm going to hang on for a few months as there are a few go faster mods that I think will be worth waiting for. Can't wait to get one!
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

It doesn't look like either of us will be seeing our guns next week - it appears that there is another delay, with the guns stuck in Vienna Airport. I ordered mine months ago and this is my 3rd delay - I am starting to doubt I will get my hands on it before Xmas.

Picked up mine this morning. The pistol itself seems solidly built; nicely balanced too, (balancing point just in front of the trigger). I'm a little concerned about the mags, they look and feel a little brittle and I worry how they are going to take being dropped onto the floor during pratical courses at the club. (Ive taken a few hasty photo's with my phone below).

I should get to fire it this Wednesday and will try a variety of ammo to see how it gets on.

Congrats, it looks good - wish I could pick mine up. I am still waiting - according to the latest text from the gun shop,it is still in Scotland even though they said it was going out to TNT last Friday.
