I own six of the safari arms, from when they were the old phenix az company. None of them would work or were constant jammers when i got them, but after some fitting and tuning they all work fine now. The ported comp carry took me the longest, i fitted it to a standard frame. i think one of the reason safari arms went out of bussiness in az is these are semi custom guns and the were never tuned properly and got a really bad reputation, some of it deserved. I will usualy buy any i can find knowing going in i will be rebuilding them, but once you get the bugs worked out they are great guns.
