I had had one for about 3 years. It is what it is. I think it is a pretty good gun for the price. My least favorite part is the trigger.

If I was needing/wanting areasonably priced semi-auto I wouldconsider a S&W Sigma. They used to have a lot of reliability problems but it is my understanding that the newer ones are much better.

When I went through LE academy there were two officers who were issued S&W Sigmas chambered in 9mm. These two had more FTF's and FTE's than the other 23 of us. The only good thing was, these two officersbecame veryproficient at the "Tap, Rack, Ready" drill.
