Just curious about these. I just picked one up for $125.00. Its very small for a 9mm, and is similar to a 1911 and Browning. I figured for the price it was a deal. Of course I had the opportunity to shoot it before buying, and was amazed at how sweet the trigger pull was, very reminicent of a 1911. I did google the gun, so I know the history, am more interested in personal experience. If anyone has any info I would appreciate it.

I bought one for my wife one time. I loved it but she did not. It went away at some point. I keep an eye out for them but they are very scarce in my neck of the woods.
Small, handy, accurate and affordable. Wish I had one now. Spare mags are fairly expensive when you can find them. I want one for a summer carry gun.
Mine was in 9mm but I believe they made a .40 version too. It was sorta like a Colt Govt .380 only more potential.
Enjoy.
