The 8 year old struggled a little bit with muzzle flip, but the 12 year old ran it just fine.


I have 600 rounds through mine and it has been flawless. I have shot 115, 124, and 147 grain FMJ's and HP's and the pistol handles them well. I have also ran several of my carry load, the 124 grain +P Golden Sabers with excellent results as well. The pistol handles recoil well and can be quite accurate.
