Got Gunnery's PM-9... outrageously nice, no function problems in 100 rounds, using both magazines. Accuracy.... when I tried, as it ought to be. I tended to pull to the left a little, but when I did my part, the PM-9 did its part, and by the end of 100 rounds I was keeping them in about 3 inches at 7 yards with either hand.

Nice compliment to the PM-45

I still like having the 45acp... but there are times when a little slimmer, a little lighter is a plus. Not always, but sometimes. I'm ok with that.

The new (to me) older model PM9 - with flat nose, pinned sideplate, but it does have modern torx screw slide catch spring retainer.

Sprue

They say its a machined part, and it is. But all evidence, and good evidence at that, indicates that the part is a machined investment casting. Those are definitely casting marks and the sprue pretty much tells the tale. Not saying thats bad, just saying what I see.

And for Gunnery, here's how that little scratch turned out on the back of the slide.

The media I had in the blaster was ground glass, which is a little coarser than some beads, and finer than almost all sand.
