    Yeah, saw that coming so mine's gone already.

    Mind you, two whole weeks to wait

    I like the Alecto and will be buying one but I will not be getting rid of my Compact just yet, it depends how you fettle a compact how good the trigger gets, it can get really good, clean and crisp with a lovely 1st stage and zero 2nd stage creep.
    If anyone's selling a Compact cheap I'd be interested in another for a project
    Regards,
    Nick

    Mike,
    It's English engineering, I looked at what had been done & improved & refined it
    You've not tried the trigger on my Compact yet, you'd be surprised!

    BTW I owe you some work or something so if there's anything I can sort out for you let me know. I just got a big lump of nice Canadian Maple so if you get a suitable pistol but need anatomical grips give me a shout,
    Regards
    Nick
