I stopped into the www.the-armory.com tonight to pick up my new Galco belt and the owner just got the first one in, it's his by the way.
This is the first version, no sights at all. It had the stock as depicted and railed plastic hg's.
I really like the short throw selector. I have short thumbs and had to adopt a slight inboard cant in the ready for my thumb to hit it w/o altering my master grip. No biggie since it was flipped to fire as I came on target. Trigger was nice, little take up. Balance was great, doesn't feel like it's true weight. According to litereature provided to him via email a CTR stock fits the tube which means it's milspec. I didn't have a chance to go into it any further.
Two versions should be arriving. second will have a $100 price increase and offer the same front sight as the 550 series. Not clear on the rear, however it seems as if it will be the 550 type.
Third one will have a quad railed forend and be compatible with 1913 after market sights as well as the 2nd model type.
They have 60 on order with 35 or so spoken for.
Just passing it along!
