[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 1258173, member: 5800"] I own one and just was out shooting it earlier today. Here's the good stuff --- The gun itself is buckets of fun, groupings are not bad, and you can plink away all day long without spending nearly anything. It'll eat CCI, Federal, Golden Bullet, whatever you put in it. Here's the bad stuff --- It does have the occasional "brass stuck in the slide" syndrome. No worse than any other low end 22 that I've ever shot though. The safety's are a super big PITA, but about 5 minutes of work and every one of them can be defeated without making the gun "unsafe" if that makes sense. My main problem is that I've gone through two magazine release buttons. After I bought it (used) it came off after about 200 rounds. I ordered a new one ($10.50 shipped) and put it on (apparantly badly) and it came off again after 20 rounds. It sits on there in a funky manner. I came across this thread because I was searching on the forums for someone that might work on them. Final thoughts: For $124 NEW ([URL="http://www.midwesthuntersoutlet.com/Items-5886-4-handguns.aspx?Order=1&Sort=189"]http://www.midwesthuntersoutlet.com/Items-5886-4-handguns.aspx?Order=1&Sort=189[/URL]) I think it's worth it. I'm going to repair mine (hopefully doing a better job this time) and keep shooting it. If you were looking for a self defense weapon rather than a plinker I'd say to look at a Ruger LCP or something of that nature. Cheers [/QUOTE]
