I picked up a 9in. barrelled version the 17th. from Cabelas. No steel plug in the grip, btw...may have been a Cabelas thing in past, but not now. Seems to be a decent little plinker, although the shorter barrel is no fond of lower velocity ammo. CCI stingers work great, but I ran some older ammo at 1250fps, and had a FTE every 5-7 rounds.
If your preference is lower velocity stuff (and that's probably a better bet given the experiences people have had with Stingers and the like causing cracking of the bolt housing), then it's an easy fix; just pop in slightly weaker springs. I only shoot CCI SV out of mine, and a pair of 0.7mm wire stainless steel springs did the trick perfectly.
