First range trip, 100 win, 300 Federal value target, very very few malfunctions. Surprised with my satisfaction.

The black with the gold barrel is oh so much better.

I was pleasantly surprised by this gun too. I had a similar issue as your rear sight with the rail up top and the front sight. I put a dab of lock tight on all the screws and haven't had an issue since.

While you’re shopping for sights, look for the tandemkross ring. It makes charging SO much easier and more fun to shoot the gun.
Oh hopefully a .22 suppressor sooner than later.

Right now I really only get to shoot at an indoor range so the suppressor probably wouldn’t change much for me

Love that color scheme

I’m actually shocked how well it ran, when I bought it I expected to have jams every few magazines or what ever. I shot 100 of those Winchester bullets in the red plastic box, 20 cci mini mags, then at least 300 of the Federal target value box ammo. A grand total of 3 light primer strikes and maybe another 3-5 times the bolt was really stiff pulling back to rack it.
My rear sight post fell off after the first magazine, that had me worried but outside of that I am very impressed and satisfied with this purchase.
Wait, are you saying that the entire rear sight fell off the dovetail? Never seen that happen before.
It slid out of the dovetail yes. Two small set screws hold them in place
hahahaha.
Man, I seriously have to laugh at that. I have the exact same gun in the exact same hilarious gold, and the one thing I hated about it was the sights - so I ordered some nice williams fire sights for it. Here's where I explain why I'm laughing. Whatever engineer decided to use the smallest possible allen wrench screw must have been an evil, evil person. Not only did it take me half a week to find the right size, the loc-tite on it made it so hard to unscrew it snapped the tiny little wrench in half. I was then able to vise grip the remaining piece and finally get it to loosen and remove the allen wrenches that stop the sight from coming out. With that, and a sight pusher, I was able to change the sights in approximately one week's time. And yours just popped off the first magazine.
Noticed my rail was loose when I got home as well. I was looking into sight upgrades anyways and was looking at the ones you got. Would you recommend gem over just getting s truglo or similar front sight post only?
They are fantastic sights, but clearly indoor or daylight only. Probably not a gun you'd need night sights for, but I don't judge!
Anyway - for me, I really wanted three dots because I bought and used this gun to teach my wife, daughter, and now the odd friend here and there how to shoot and operate guns, and all of my other weapons have three dot sights. It's an excellent teaching tool for first timers as aside from the charging lever, it's identical in operation to most auto pistols. The odd rimfire jam is actually not a big deal for me, because again - it's a teaching moment. The LOL shade of gold made the girls like it too ;)
