It may look like a POS but in actuality it is a good carbine.
As for the 40 S&W, do not use it on anything larger than coyotes.
Bronk,
that's the experience I've had with mine. it's bulky, ugly, clunky, whatever word you wanna use. I don't often admit to owning it.. And I wouldn't have spent my own money on it.... But I have had zero problems with it. and it really does shoot well. Don't know if they're all that way or if I got lucky. But it really is a fun little thing to shoot.
