Thank you all for some great responses. In fact, it was a simple lubrication problem. I fired it at the range this weekend with no problems. I also purchased a Sig Sauer P226 recently. It came with Trijicon sights, accessory rail on lower receiver, three high cap magazines and, best of all, the crest of the 1st Special Forces Regiment engraved forward of the rear sights. It was part of a group buy we did back at the unit. We got it all under $600.00. I'll post some pictures when I get my digital cam up and running. I fired 500 rounds off of it during the weekend and it was highly accurate.
My next buy will be a 1911 style pistol from either Springfield Armory, Sig Sauer (GSR), or a Kimber TLE II. That will be followed by a Benelli Nova and finally an AR-15 (and that's the last firearm I'll buy ... for real this time!).
