25 rounds on an 8" target (fast fire fun):

3 rounds on a 3" target:

With a magnifier I'm expecting there to be more to come.

That seems to work well, I have shot them a couple of times and always liked them although the lever is a bit of an acquired taste. I dare not own one myself as I would have to do something about the lever ergonomics and operation and it would probably end badly.... :)

Just 25m for its maiden voyage. Gonna see what it's like at 50 next (preferably with a magnifier - my eyes are old).

Recoil is tame, as you'd expect, but reaching for the lever brought on a tendency to snatch at the trigger a bit - probably the main reason the shots aren't all through the same hole at this range.

I used a vortex Sparc 2 on mine, and found the dot fine at 50m, If you don't have a brass catcher you might want to avoid the furthest firing point as recovering the 9mm from there is a bit of a pain, a lot dissapears through the floor.

biggest issue I had firing mine is remembering to breathe lol!!

Using the 8" I'd be quite happy shooting it as is - even at 100. From what I've read, the drop isn't too bad out of carbine length barrels.

Aye - a brass catcher is definitely something I'm thinking about now. It's not the same as littering the floor with rim fire cases lol
