I shot a Repro some years ago when they first came out and as you say it was a wonderfull and perhaps lively gun to handle and shoot . But I think in the back of my mind I always thought , it's just a copy that was made in JAPAN .

But then to be fair to the little guns shouldn't they be judged on their own merits and not judged against the originals . To me it's kinda like comparing apples and oranges .
