Be sure to buy several extra magazines and lots of ammo (multi cases).

Stout recoil despite a barely better than 380 power (especially now that the 115 grain hp ammo is no longer imported), not especially drop safe if I remember right, not too good of a DA trigger pull but an okay one in SA. Basically a bigger PPK.

A fantastic toy if you like recoil, otherwise a chore to shoot, and definitely lacking in power as a main gun, and it's too big to be a respectably small hideout gun. More of a glovebox back up.

For the price, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
