I handled one of these today for the first time. My observations eco Tokarevs. I'm not deep into the 2011 tall grass, but I have spent some time with a Staccato. This is not that, but niether is the price. I'm a bit puzzled by the lack of any texturing on the mag release. I'd also like the texturing on the grip to be a bit more aggressive. But, niether of those seem to be deal breakers. I'd say the trigger on this sample was a clean five pounds. Everything seemed to operate smoothly. I recently handled an LFA Apollo 11 and, IMHO, that's hot garbage. I suspect the Tisas will be the way to go, if getting out of the boat and going all the way with a Staccato isn't preferable or possible.
