Les and Don's bantering about the 81 prompted me to snag one, at a small gunshow wherein there was nothing else that really caught my fancy. The price was downright cheap, so why not. It didn't take long for its downsides to outweigh its upsides, so away it went. Downside: Heavy in a weird kind of way, poor balance. Awful trigger. Weird recoil pulse. Not particularly accurate. Upside: Pretty neat.
