The firearm came to my local FFL dealer in a timely fashion. All parts were in the order and in perfect shape. The build was not difficult but if you have never built one before you will need a resource to assist you. I found the gun and parts to be well made. I took it to the range for the first time and ran 100 rounds with two stovepipes. From many of the reviews I read about these smaller 1911, I expected a higher jam rate, so far this one seems to be functioning within an acceptable rate.
