Local shop does some in house auctions and I got this for 125 bucks
Anyone else have one? Reviews seem largely favorable.

I don’t have experience with one but no hate from me. Helluva deal I’d say and if no love, send it down the road for more $$.

No hate, just indifference.

Better looking than a Yeet Cannon and for a better price

No hate. For that price I probably would have bought it myself! Good score

Looks good for $125.

It's ugly.
But it was a good deal, so I would have done it as well!

Thanks all. While it's not winning any beauty contests, I don't consider it ugly. It's not a Glock afterall
has a good feel in the hand and a halfway decent trigger, no scale so just a subjective feel. probably be a week or two before I range test it for real.

For $125 you could use it as a wheel chock and not feel bad. It also has all those replacement bits, so if you use it as a hammer you don't have to care if you scuff it up. I am a big fan of multi use purchases.

Along those lines. Once it has enough rounds through it to be trustworthy it will probably become a house gun. If, god forbid it ever gets used as such, it will be no great loss if I never get it back.

How do the controls feel? Mag release, slide release, safety? Can you get a finger on them without changing your grip?

Yes to all. Since Colorado deems a magazine over 15 rds to be evil, I only have one mag so changes won’t be an issue to start. If I end up liking it enough I’ll buy more.

Well took it to the range today, overall impression is favorable. Pleased with how it shot, very pleasant for a compact pistol. Accuracy was decent, better than decent when Andy shot it
My old eyes had some problems with the 3 dot arrangement Novak sights, might have to try a fiber optic. Had a few FTF, this may have been due to the reloads I'm not sure. Will pick up some factory ammo and see what happens.

That little pistol will shoot! I like it. For what they are those are cool guns. Decent trigger and controls. Wasn’t a fan of the the 3 dots either but hey it ain’t mine!
Tom has a cool little shooter!
