    Pretty and hideous at the same time... Interesting.

    Interesting that they put the bolt on the left, but it ejects the empties to the right.

    Keeps the strong hand free to speed reloading and follow up shots?

    Almost makes me want to invest in a chrony. See how the same 10mm cartridge does in a 5", 6", and 16" barrel.

    OK, put in a full mag. It fed and ejected every round as fast as I could pull the bolt back. Can't wait to get this baby to the range!

    Would be nice if you could post a video but pictures will do.

    Looks like a ton of fun.

    It seems like the article I read said there was about a 150f/s gain with the 16" barrel.

    !@#$%$, It's supposed to be cold tomorrow, but unless I go then, or the weekend when it's awful crowded, It's supposed to rain almost every day Sun-Thursday. I'm just going to have to clench my teeth and do it or I'[ll have to wait yet one more week to shoot my new baby!

    Did make it to the range today. This thing is a HOOT! only problem was the sights were very far off. This was after I sighted the red dot and as the barrel was warming up. (Or breaking in, I don't know which yet) the point of impact kept dropping. This was about 25 yards.

    Interesting..... It's as if a 1911 and a KT Sub2000 got together and had a child.
