From what I hear the carbines for the money work pretty well. However the pistols not so much. I have a co worker that has one in 9mm though (pistol). He said he shoots it quite a bit and hasn't had any trouble with it. I mean you normally get what you pay for, and these things are pretty cheap, must be a reason for it.

I might get one to plink with, but I don't think I would get one to protect my or my family's life with.
