Hi Michael -- it has been over a year since I visited Juneau.  Should be getting kind of cold up there now with very short days.  Keep away from those grizzleys and keep warm.

The pup in my pocket has been totally free of problems..About 250 rounds of various rounds..
Everything from WWB,STHP and GDHP..

My other pups have not been shot as much,but just a couple of glitches having to do with my grip at the time..

I have shot 4 different pups,and all,to me,have been nothing but smooth machines that want to please.. ;)

To Mt.Man:  don't see many brownies this neck of the woods.  on the other hand, we had a big momma blackie and her two cubs climbing all over our deck all summer.  couldn't leave the back door open in the evenings, as we like.  also, kept a shotgun and a cassul .454 handy just in case.  

this is DOWNTOWN juneau, by the way.

you're right, it's getting chillier, and has been raining for about two straight months now.  ah, winter in the rainforest.

nice to hear from you.

With 138 rounds through the gun, 100 of which were of recommended ammo, failure rates have exceeded 40%.

No problems, except for one time with some 115 gr WWB and a gun that hadn't been cleaned in awhile.  I switched to gold dots, and it worked just fine -- it may also have been my grip, and it shot the rest of the WWB fine as well.

Dad's hasn't had any problems either.  While their probably is a way to improve the function, I think a great deal of it may be just that the pup is challenging to control.  I actually have an easier time controling it w. one hand.
