Oh, it's a great deal for a rifle, definitely. The trigger should be adjustable for weight, with a set screw at the rear of the trigger. You have to take the action out of the stock though, and all that addresses is the weight of pull. If it's real creepy, then the trigger either needs to be worked...

Ray, the FRAME is fine, it is the SLIDE which fractured and bowed out enough to cause it to jam against the frame. The slide on the .22 conversion Work smoothly on the frame with no issues. On the Witness the slide runs inside the frame like a CZ rather than on the outside like a Colt

The P90 gets good penetration, and with the light recoil, you shouldn't have to run far before blood loss brings it down. Course, it might have the same effect as stabbing it 50 times with an icepick.
