Bought one at the gun show. Some $250 less than competing .380s. Action was very stiff, but basic construction was good. Took it to my gunsmith, $40 bucks later, had an action job on it, all the burrs were gone, quick and easy magazine drop, easy chambering. Very accurate little gun. Now its my favorite conceal/carry piece.

Been there. Done that. Never again.

(I want to keep my fingers functional.)

If you want a good, mid-caliber, reliable and relatively inexpensive handgun, you might try one of these. I've got two and I love 'em.

I saw one launch the front half of the slide downrange.

Maybe they're lots better made now, but the broken gun I saw was made of the finest faucet metal known to mankind.

These guys wouldn't even put rifling in the barrels if it wasn't a BATF requirement.
