The only drawback that I have noted is the factory fiberoptic open sights have no positive adjustment; it's kind of guesswork. I would like to find a quality open sight for my gun. Carp is trying to talk me into the Ghostring peepsight but I can get on target faster with the standard open sights.

They are a great gun! Have always heard bad things about them, but I have never had one bad thing to say about the gun myself. The sights, I always switch on my smoke poles anyways. Most of the time people that talk trash about them have never even shot them ;) If a guns crap I am willing to say its crap. :chuckle: I am not a bias follower and will always be honest about a gun. Even if I own 10 of them.

There is no way you can tell if you like something with only 4 shots. Sounds to me you didn't even give it a fair chance.
