I suspect this may not be my last Fusion kit.

I just now noticed that even the GI model has front strap checkering. This is a real nice touch for the money, in my opinion.

I didn't expect it to be checkered on the front strap. I think this was a heck of a deal for $507 shipped. Plus another $20 FFL transfer fee.

I might be compelled to order another Reaction, but in 45 this time and as a kit. I don't mine swapping everything on the gun to get it like I want at this price point.
How does yours feel now that it's together? Mine was 4lb trigger out of the box, with good lock up and slide to frame fit. Aside from lots of sharp edges, which I corrected, it felt great.

I don't know what the pull is but it doesn't feel heavy and is very crisp.
I am thinking about one of the Reaction kits in 10mm.

A friend of mine is the dealer for Fusion in NC. He sold one of those long slide 10mms and it got a great review, according to him.

fieldgrade, to answer your question, I am very happy with the quality of the kit. No sharp edges that shouldn't be. All of the parts fit perfectly. The only fitting I did was to the parts that I substituted for parts from the kit.

The only sharp edges I felt compelled to stone into submission were the top grooves and edges of the extended slide stop on the Reaction, the thumb safety which I ultimately changed since I ride it and like somewhat different ergos, and the very bottom row of checkering on the front strap. Very pointy.

fieldgrade, I have to admit after handling this pistol for a few days... I did round off the bottom outer edge of the thumb safety. It did start to feel kind of sharp after engaging the safety a few times. Clicking off is ok, but on kind of hurts my thumb after about the fifth time.

I can say that my next planned purchase will be a Fusion Reaction kit in 10mm.

Sharp eges like that are pretty easy to dispatch. These aren't pageant winners, but the fit right out of the box to me is very good, and I can make better groups at 20 yards than with my new DW Valor. Not sure if that has to do with the Dawson fiber front site I put on the Fusion, or what.
