here is my feeling after a couple of shoot and only looking at it

 

1/the look,

this is not your average dark skirmish type pistol... it is flashy and agressif. the cut slide look very good but i have notice some unclean patern on the aluminium body type... it does not look clean.

i did not like the red sight and as i play at night i already put a tritium sign.

this is a 7/10 for me versus a 8 for the original 5.1.

 

2/the gadgets

the long slide stop and tumb safety fit nicely, as well as the shock buffer. The new patern grips option are useless. Crome magazine are very blink blink... i did bought a back up one, but i do not like them!

 

9/10 versus a 5 for the original 5.1

i would have loved a better inner barrel too as it is the first change IPSC player do. this would have made it a 10 for an out of the box TM.

 

3/the shoot

out of the box, it did way better than my original test with my 5.1 at 20 m. i did not took any picture as it was a fast test and i hope someone more professional can do this part for me on youtube

no rating here, i am not an expert.
