The action is pretty smooth in these especially once it's worked in. It's very smooth.
Has uh a nice first light stage. Comes to a nice solid wall with no second stage creep.
Weatherbe claims that having a contact point at the end uh actually improves accuracy.
It did seem like it only wanted to have two rounds as far as the mag capacity versus 3 plus one but functioned ejected extracted and fed all right and it's very accurate.
