Things I liked:I like the use of wood and metal rather than the lower quality plastic seen on so many pellet pistols. Things I would have changed:The sights leave much to be desired. The front sight is far too thin and the windage adjustment on the rear sight allows for too little compensation. What others should know:Out

The front sight is far too thin and the windage adjustment on the rear sight allows for too little compensation. What others should know:Out of the box, and with no crosswind, the pistol shot about 4 inches high and 2 inches to the right at 40 feet when using sandbags for stabilization. The windage adjustment would not allow complete correction and required that I physically bend the rear sight slightly to center the pellet strike on target.
The trigger pull is long and gritty resulting in unpredicatable timing of pellet firing. I have modified the "sear" by grinding off a sufficient amount that the trigger pull distance to release is now acceptably shorter. I have also polished the sear where it contacts the trigger mechanism and the firing mechanism. Other parts contacted by the sear were also polished to remove some of the machining roughness. The trigger pull is now shorter and smoother allowing improved accuracy.
