General Comments

I bought this gun second hand complete with original box and instructions and although overall i like this gun it does have a few quirks.
The safety catch is on the wrong side and can't be easily released once you are ready to shoot.
The trigger guard has quite sharp edges that cause some discomfort after shooting for a while. The sight adjustment is not notched and this gives the feeling that it can be easily knocked off zero (i know this can be remedied but it still irritates)
I bought this pistol because it's a BSA however you can see why it was withdrawn owing to (unfortunately) better products around at the time and in 2007 the design seems quite outdated.
