Really cool. Hows it shoot?

Stupid flat and really soft... Cant wait to shoot her at Area 2.

I just need to figure out what coating I'm going to do... Either Matte NiB, CrN, AlTin, NP3 or just plain Hard Chrome.

Wow, what a beautiful gun. How does it transition? It seems "heavy" with the PT grip and full-profile comp. Thanks.

It's a heavy pig but that's the reason for flatness and transitions. Transitions are not bad for me at my skill level but because of the weight I've gotten use of not over swinging the gun with the weight.
