Gordon, what a fabulous firearm. I have the Patriot, and have just recently ordered another barrel in 357/38, and a couple of extras for it. When you first look at the firearm, automatically find yourself holding a quality piece of art. And the feel in hand, is solid. It fires rounds without effort, and the recoil is less than expected. Your sales/customer service employees, are very friendly and helpful. Keep up the fantastic work, we will be long time friends. And I just cant wait for Bullpup to make enrty. Sincerely, CHARLES FRALEY
