Great report! I too just posted one on my day today shooting my brand new P45, but was not nearly ad detailed. I too was worried after hearing so many bad reports about jams and mags falling out. I was stunned about how smooth the gun was. The only problems I encountered were not the gun's fault. I limp-wristed my first shot with my weak hand and the round didn't eject properly, and the Critical Defense rounds I tested would not feed properly, they were clipping the nose. This will be my carry weapon and I am thrilled with it so far. How are the Hogue grips? I too think the cheese graders are a bit much.
Good Shooting!
