Take it and shoot it,it by no means is a kimber or browning auto,but for about 15% of what they cost what can you expect,I got one in on a trade several years back,I still have it and shot it every now and then,mine has never jammed on me,I have about $40 in it and I wouldn't sell it for that,it just lays on my night stand.For what you got in it,you did alright,dont worry what everybody says,you might get looked at funny if you took it to a target match,but it will do for defense and if it gets stolen out of your vehicle you haven't lost as much as you would if you had an expensive gun.
