So far everything I've read about the T-bolt has been favorable.
The problems that plagued the AWA performance has been eliminated because the interior design is an improvement over the original, not a replica thereof.
I full well intend to have the 24" octagonal .45 in stainless... but NOT until they've been in the market in large numbers for at least six months.
Y' see, I'm one of them old timers that thinks a gun should work FINE, right out of the box, without tweaking, sending it back for repairs or replacement... so I'll gauge its performance on the feedback I hear and read before shelling out the money.
But I WILL have one!
