Joe I've never seen the gun before. I don't think it hurts to mention the good points if you have to mention the bad. Personally I think it's a nice gun. It might need a little work if a few areas but I don't see any reason to rain on the parade. I can't afford guns in this class that don't have something wrong with them. I bought the Henry double with a broken hammer. The hammer is now fixed and I got it cheaper than I would have if it hadn't been broken.
