Trigger
Doesn't this weapon have a ridiculously heavy trigger pull?
- I got to try one out once, and I'd say it was at least 15 pounds (it may have been more; my estimates usually undershoot a little.) It's not as bad as you might think at first, but it'll make your trigger finger ache after shooting it for a long enough period of time. Other than that I rather liked the thing, but I'm apparently in the minority.--PistolJunkie 05:55, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- I have heard very few people speak well of this gun.
Number made
