And well, the thing just... works. It isnt overly pleasant, but for the price if the thing works damn well then id call it a good purchase. I have yet to encounter the action screwing up at all, though I have only fired it just about 150-200 times. I was scared that the action was going to be slower since you have to take your hand away from the grip and trigger, but I was wrong. The thing is fast and easy to use.

If you have any questions about it ill try answer.

I was looking ar getting one of these.
I saw s review that pointed out that they use a lot of plastic parts for the action, is that the case.

Have they improved it already?
My adler was one of the very first and its hard on the knuckles.
Only after 500 shots did it loosen up.

mine was fairly rough on the knuckles. but i paracorded the lever which helped. plus i had it apart and used a peice of emery tape and polishing wheel on a dremel and removed all the burrs and machining marks off everything that contacts inside. muuuch better now
