Good choice. Made on the exact same tooling as a Beretta design that retailed for $600+. It's a Beretta for $200 less
Run it with a visible sheen of lubrication, not dry. My buddy with the 9mm Cougar got jams until I lubed it for him and showed him how. Flawless since. My Beretta PX4 .40, based on the same design, is 5 years flawless thanks to being well lubricated.
I like to soak all the slide parts and frame rails - most importantly contact surfaces - in Breakfree CLP for about 3 hours every few range trips, and after wiping the excess CLP free adding a drop of oil to each slide rail. The CLP soak imparts a great lubricious quality that lasts well.
