[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3724891, member: 34578"] Well... and this goes for all 5 generations of the pistol: 1. The frames and slides are cast zinc alloy. 2. The original firing pins are cast metal and prone to breaking. Every one I have, now has a replacement stainless steel firing pin, including the 5th gen I just got. But they are very easy to replace so, there's that. 3. They shoot a very anemic round - 25ACP. And only holds 6+1 rds on top of that. 4. The magazine release is on the heal and you can't drop a mag 1-handed. 5. The safety lever on some can be difficult to move , and on some it's so easy to move it's almost impossible to keep the safety on. TLDR; They are an absolute terrible choice for a carry weapon but are cheap, simple construction, and a helluva lota fun to plink around with. And the differences between the 5 generations are in reality, pretty negligible. [/QUOTE]
