Just THINKING about firing that beauty makes me flinch.
That would be a fun shooter if I had the money.

GL with the sale.

Ammo wise, how many rounds are you selling? What is the total number of each?
Thanks

I bought the 4" barrel version a few months ago and got whatever ammo was avaible at the GRB show. Turns out it was some hot load for killing Krakens or something and it did hurt coming out of the short barrel. I got some BVA ammo online and it is much more pleasant to shoot. It is a real nice gun, would get yours if I had the spare funds. I replaced the rear sight with a Weaver scope base as this gun is for shooting a lot farther than 15 yds or so.

If I may answer for you Glock27, recoil is dependant on the load but with the long barrel on the one for sale here recoil should be less than a .44 mag. Once I dropped to a reasonable load my 4" recoiled less than my .50AE.
