just got mine last weekend and i love it. ordered the 13# and 15# recoil springs, havent arrived yet. i've put a couple boxes through it with no problems, exept it kicks more than any big bore i've ever shot. the new springs should keep the slide from bottoming out on the frame, in turn reducing recoil. so until i get the springs im taking it easy as far as shooting. on the very plus side it feeds the Hornady XTP's with no hickups. im also planing on removing the small (but accurate) issue sights and replacing them with a set of fiber optics. one other thing i do recomend is either buying an aftermarket reduced power hammer spring or removing a coil or two from the stock spring. i've heard the 9# will give light primer strikes on wolf and other surplus, so i think most go with an 11#. either way it makes the double action pull allmost usable. i removed one coil from mine and think ill play with it a little more, but it helped tremendously and i've had no problems with any wolf ammo going through it.
