After missing my chance to buy one last weekend (walked into the local store 5 minutes too late to get the only one they had), I managed to buy one this morning (showed up 2 minutes after the store opened, and bought the one they had received yesterday).
I put 30 rounds through it to identify any problems, and surprised myself by not having a single failure to feed or eject (my P11 had feed problems before the fluff & buff). It also appears to be more accurate than my P11 (probably due to the lighter trigger). I did have a problem with the pin walking, even though it has the new style pin and the retaining spring looks like it's working correctly. All ejected cases landed on the roof of the shed behind me. And it does have a problem with smilies.
So, it looks like I need to...
do a rampectomy,
do a light fluff & buff,
slot the assembly pin,
and either buy a handall jr, or make a poorman's grip sleeve.
Thanks to everyone involved, for the information provided on this forum.
Now where did I put those needle files...
