If you ever have to use it self defense shoot it until it jams, throw it at the intruder, then run like hell..... Save your money and get something decent. I got this H&K USP 40, 500 rounds, and two extra magazines from my brother in law. He bought it from the estate of his old boss that passed away. I gave my brother in law what he paid for it. $400. The gun alone is worth about $750-$800.
