The icing on the cake for me is the lack of checkering on the hammer spur - just horizontal lines. My thumb didn’t slip, but It sure looks cheesy.

Not to mention, they're accepting them back for repair. A lot of vendors aren't even doing that these days. Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want. Rehabilitation is way overrated.

I still maintain the hammer nose are either unfinished or still too long, causing the light strikes. Pin protrusion... The hand not cycling is from the insistence of using the old rebound lever/single spring design with a better rounded DA pull at the cost of a positive trigger return, especially if its not allowed to fully re-set, which appears even exacerbated over the old model. It isnt going to impress Mikulek. I dont see a fix for that, unless spring weights are increased, but the limit is in the old style design.The side plate "specs" seem a bit hokey.
