What did you end up spending? I might just buy one tomorrow, it's definitely on my short list of plinkers.

Congratulations. This seems to be a very popular pistol.

Now it's time for a suppressor...

I took it apart, as always do before shooting. Very easy to strip as well as reassemble. I have read where some people have had problems with putting it back together. What I did was take the little rod it comes with and put it into the slide about half way. Then guide it into the spring. As you pull the slide back, let the rod naturally contact the spring guide rod. Then let the spring guide rod push the reassembly rod out the front of the slide. Continue pulling the slide back until you can push it down and bring it forward. It really sounds harder than it is. It took me a total of about 5 mins. to take apart, clean and reassemble. Piece of cake.

Congrats! You'll fall deeply in love with it, I guarantee.

Once the recoil spring is broken in a bit, you'll be able to reassemble it without the spring guide rod. (though it's still easier with it)

Have fun!
