Reliability has been 100% since I replaced the extractor (long story). Anyway, with the new extractor, it's one of my favorite handguns. In fact, I've started to carry it lately. Here's my first ten yard, eight shot, group, from today's range session, fired standing, two handed. I fired 100 rounds of ball, total, no failures (as expected). The one flyer is me.

Not sure I'd need it, though, since I hardly notice my all steel Kobra Carry while carrying it IWB, and an aluminum alloy frame would only add to felt recoil.

Especially with the first mag. I have fell off the wagon getting trigger time. Last edited by blindshooter; 11/09/21.
