A friend recently purchased one... "the lightest smallest 9mm". Indeed, very small & light.

I had to zero some rifles, so off to the range we went.

It is cosmetically not so pretty. The extractor, screwed on from the outside, gave me pause. Apparently only comes with one magazine? Plastic front sight got the edge of a pocketknife to trim some flash plastic.

The substance:
-Sights, after lateral adjust, were 2-5" high at 15m depending on load.
-Fired aprox 100 rds, 124gr golddot, 124 ball, 147gr hydroshock, 124gr hydroshock, 115gr bluepolymer covered HP. NO FTF/FTE. One primer light-strike. I ejected it compared primer seat to the other rds and the primer was visibly recessed farther in. Re-chambered it and it fired.
-Not comfy to shoot (hence the 100rds), need positively grip with bottom two fingers to control flip.
-I managed 5rd groups, in 4" black dots, out to 10m

It light and small, and so I suppose having this over nothing is preferable. Fits a niche. Definitely would test this with maybe 200-300rds of intended carry ammo, and consider it good. I wouldn't imagine the construction of this would allow a high rd count, as if your hands would permit it anyway.

I had on but neither the factory nor my gunsmith could make it run.
