Howdy......
I have had one of them for 5 years. I shot it 2 years before I had any 'work' done to it (just had the springs lightened up a bit) I shot it for 3 years before it became a backup to my '97. Never a problem.....I still shot it every now an again so it don't feel left out
I don't remember for sure, but I think I paid $289.00. It's been a good gun.............
Good shootin......
