Just wanted to dust off this thread and comment that my Bul Cherokee has just passed the 2000 mark of shots fired. Sum total of problems: One stovepipe (and it was probably my fault). The grip is what makes it for me - perfect fit, and a really comfortable 9mm to shoot. I'd consider it perfect if the trigger travel was a bit shorter. All of the 'fragile' parts this thing is made with still look mint, but I'll take some photo's after I reach the 10k mark and let you know.
