Default Goodbye Desert Eagle and Para, hello ?

Traded them in yesterday for this. Its outfitted as you see here. Other than maybe some more mags. Don't plan on getting anything else for it until I shoot it. Even then probably just a foregrip and different buttstock.

Enjoy! Once you shoot, you'll never want any other rifle again.

When I originally got the idea to trade in the DE and Para, it was for this. But then decided to see what they would give me for them and hope maybe that I could get an AR. While the guy was on the phone running the background check. I said go ahead and put this in there too.

It's got some carry wear, but doesnt look to be shot all that much. It made me nervous when I disassembled the gun to clean it, there was rust on the inside of the slide. But luckily it was just oily rust and cleaned right up. Its got a pretty good trigger, not as light as my Springfield. But with it being a carry gun, it's better that way. Got a real nice slide to frame fit too. I wish the tension on the beavertail was lighter, but other that that I'm real pleased with it.

Get some rail covers for style and a foregrip.

It's alloy with some scandium in it for strength. I like the overall feel of the gun with the shorter slide and lighter frame. But we'll see if it's worth it when I shoot it.

I recommend either Pmags or mags with a counter. I think it's neat
