Any ideas about quality and shooting experience with it.

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

Don't be a pooss, just pus a hot +p+ load in it and fire away.
Just kiddin man. Seriously though, put a single round in it, rack, and fire. Go from there. Wear protective eye wear, hearing, and enjoy the new piece!

I like it.
I have the melonite version. Had it for a couple of years. Put a couple hundred rounds through it. Every time I pull the trigger, it goes BANG!
Mine also moves the slide at the end of the trigger pull but it doesn't seem to cause any failures. I think the problem is machining marks on the firing pin assy or the part of the slide it fits into. Haven't taken the time to do a proper "fluff and buff" yet. The firing pin doesn't have a safety block, the spring keeps it from striking the primer if it is dropped. Maybe a stouter recoil spring would work to stop the 'creep'? Would not want a weaker firing pin spring to compromise safety.
I bought a new assembly pin from Cobra because my pin also creeps out while shooting - didn't help. When I clean it I usually put a drop of lacquer under the pin head - works pretty good. I have an idea that I'm going to try, to add a retaining spring similar to my Kel-Tec P-11 in the near future but I've been busy with other projects.
This is an inexpensive gun that doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles...no slide-lock after last round, DAO-Looong trigger pull and reset but crisp break, striker-fired with double-strike capability, very close in size/weight to my P-11, all parts are the same as the Cobra version and still available, uses 1911 magazines if you don't want to buy extras from Cobra,.
This is not an IPSC gun. I use mine for IWB concealed carry with a "Clipdraw" universal slide clip and I am happy with it. If I need it, I am confident it will work. If you really don't want to keep yours, contact me.
