I've only been able to hold it for now, The weather here in southern lower Michigan has not turned just yet. The gun feels good in my hands, the trigger is very easy to pull, and is comfortable at that. It seems to be an improvement over the other Mckillans gun I own, I'll know better when I actually get the opportunity to put it to use. That could be a few more weeks yet. I will update the review when I've had a chance to use the gun.
