I also got to have a little play around with one, can't say i 100% agree with you on the No Kick bit Lump Me Ole Mucker, but agreed there isn't much.
I love the new ASA and the marker sits alot lower in your hand almost giving it that geo feel.
Word is that the kick if any can be reduced through some settings on the Noid, how i have no idea but im sure soon someone will let us have a the low down on it...
The body milling is great and love the new grips with only two screws on either side..
The Shaft 4 barrels like with the current GEO2 Is a great improvement on the others and it will come standard with the .689.
Still all the above being said i wont, be swayed away from the GEO2 ... I will get one though purely for the fact im a dirty rotten WHORE 10#
