I got mine about 10 days ago. Extreme model, bought from Gunbroker:

I paid $625. More than I wanted, but they were a good bit more expensive when they first came out so I'm happy about that.
The gun disappears in a pocket, much like my Colt Mustang .380. I'm less than thrilled about the prospects of having to defend myself with a .380, which is what led me to this gun. Pocket carry seems like the best option for me. I haven't found an IWB setup that is comfortable enough for me to carry my bigger guns.

I took it to the range last Monday. It shot well off the bench. I haven't gotten used to the heavy trigger yet, so I did very little off-hand shooting. I've read in a few places that the trigger gets better/lighter as you put a few rounds through it. It seems like it's better than it was with 120ish rounds through it. The trigger is still pretty heavy though.
No failures with factory ammo. I ran most of two boxes through it to try to loosen things up a little. The pistol does seem to have a very tight chamber and won't accept some of the blasting rounds that my Smith 59 and 6906 both eat like candy.
I slugged the bore today and it miked at .3562". The next rounds I made to try were some 124 grain RCBS CN bullets that measured just over .357". I also made up a few 100 grain plinkers with Ranch dog 358 100 grain TL's, sized to .357".
Hoping I can get this gun dialed in. So far, I really want to like it. :drinks:
