I have the gun back. The safety issue has been fixed. Now I can see how well it might work.

Per my request, LFA replaced the 5".top end with a 4.15" one. The gun feels way better balanced now.

The trigger is a bit north of five pounds. It has a glitch right after initial take up. Break itself is pretty good and overtravel is set about right.

Brass is kissing the bottom edge of the optic as it ejects. I don't see any damage to the glass. Yet.
