once you push the take-down button the upper receiver pivots up and off the lower receiver for easy cleaning

Very Nice! Good looking pistol. The one button take down feature is great.
I don't think these have made their way up to Canada just yet.....?
 
You just HAD to come onto our Canadian site to show off the gun we won't see for a few more months, didn't you ! ! ! ! !

:d

I really like the look of the new frame and controls. And the roll marking on the receiver is sure neatly done. And wonder of wonders they've reduced the warning from a bloody great book worth of printing to just a note to read the manual.

Let us know how it shoots for you. And what's the trigger feel like on these new ones?
 
Al Flarhety's just posted a picture of a Stainless Hunter that arrived at their shop...... it would appear that they have crossed the border!
 
How is the balance with the aluminum frame compared to the SS mk III etc.
Are there any plastic parts used other than the grips and mag bottom?

mine has a little creep and releases at 5 #..I put Volquartsen trigger kits in my MK's

$880 and than $740 and the base model is $600

OWCH!

and all sold out too.

I paid $375 + $15 shipping USD for mine

it's front heavy

No loaded chamber indicator?

no

BAN HIM

What's the trigger like vs the III? Does it have that stupid mag disconnect?

has mag disconnect
 
Well, at least dropping the chamber indicator is a step in the right direction.

You still officially suck for rubbing your new toy in our faces. So the least you can do is enjoy it often so it gets dirty and that'll help us to not feel so bad.... I think....
