You get what you pay for. This gun is functionally no different than the basic, cheap gun. I found that the ratchet would occasionally slip, making uniform application almost impossible, and the pull back mechanism did NOT prevent the tip from oozing after releasing the trigger. Extremely frustrating as this is exactly why I bought this gun. BUT, I give it 3 stars because the super cool racing car metallic magenta powdercoat paint, along with the two tone ergonomic rubberized gator grip handle made me feel like a rock star and the coolest dude on the job site! If cool is your angle, go for it. If a durable, functional caulk gun is your angle, I think you'll need to step past this mediocre (but very cool!) product. (PS: 1. Gun was used as instructed, using approved product - silicone. I'm an experienced DIYr, so I'm not the culprit here. 2. I couldn't attach my photo of the gun thrown into the job site trash bin. That was intended to be my summary statement. Sorry.).
