Good for you! Mine works great with cheapo bulk. 22 lr. I had to put in the larger front sight, iirc (been a while).

I was just looking at the 2 extra sights that came with it. I'll have to put a few rounds down range before I decide how I like the installed sights.

Wahoo! Just got done shooting mine for the first time an hour ago. Ran 100 rounds of CCI Mini Mag through with no issues other than it shoots low with the factory install tall front sight. Will be changing that to the medium. Seems to be a common issue.

That's good to know. I'm looking forward to giving mine a good test drive.

Yes, that's a common issue. You might want to try running some federal bulk through it - it should run fine (at least it works great for me).
