The sights, frankly, suck. There is the merest hint of a rear notch and the front post is more like a sliver. On an indoor range and with my aging eyeballs, I had to really take my time to line up each shot. The gun wasn't designed for target use.[1]
There were a couple of failures to feed with magazine #2.[2] Magazine #1 functioned without a hiccup. Recoil was surprisingly snappy.
I don't see myself shooting it very much. But if I do, I'll get new grips, as the Bakelite original ones are reputed to be delicate.
