It finally came in!

I disassembled it and cleaned all the oil off it and was very impressed with the fit.  Everything was fit right and tight by someone who knew what they were doing.  It had a very crisp 3 3/4 pound trigger pull, however, after I installed a Wolff 25 lb. mainspring, it jumped up to a 5 pound pull.  I"ll probably change it back as my defensive guns only have a 4 lb trigger and my competition guns I shoot the most run 1.5-2 lbs.  I also installed my standard short trigger and an EGW flat bottom firing pin stop.
The rubber grips that came with it were the "slim" style and don't really feel good in my hand, so I replaced them with a set of wood ones I had laying around...and since they were the square bottom style, I installed the S&A magwell that was in the parts box as well.

At the range the chrono showed it to be averaging 20 f.p.s. faster than my 6" G40 and every bit as accurate.  (forgive the flyers, I'll claim it was the heavy trigger and not my poor eyesight) :-[

All and all I'm very impressed for a 6" 10mm for just under 1K.

Nice! My RIA, though not a 6" is nice too.
