[QUOTE="RangerRandP, post: 1249844, member: 5660"] I own one, not that I admit that openly. The gun itself is a good weight and easy to hold. The recoil is next to non-existent. The first time I shoot it I did think it went off. The accuracy is about what you'd expect for a small barreled pistol. Don't expect it make amazing groupings just average. The big issue I have is reliability, not that it is horrible, but I wouldn't trust it as a self defense gun. Also the safety situation is a real PITA. The gun has 2 safeties. One slide stop and one hammer block if either is on safe the gun won't fire. Also the slide stop MUST be on safe before you can drop a mag. They are a real pain to field strip as well. I've gotten to the point where I just wipe it down and use a brush and cleaning pad on the barrel. Look around on the internet, but $125 seems about right for a new one. I would think twice before I bought one used at all no matter the price. If you are looking for a gun to teach someone to shoot or practice yourself then it would probably fit the bill. Just don't ask to do anything extraordinary and you should enjoy the weapon. [/QUOTE]
