I just picked up one of these guns for my wife to CC (can't OC in OK) and I was wondering if anyone had experience with them. I haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet, but from what I've found on the web they get dirty pretty easily and some of them seem to have FTF/FTE issues (generally due to getting dirty so quickly). I did notice that the takedown pin was a bit of a pain to get out (hear it gets easier after several takedowns/rebuilds) and noticed that it was kinda dirty from the factory.

I have had one for a while now. I have had no issues at the range using several different types of ammunition. I wouldn't recommend it for primary care due to the fact thet it's ammo capacity is low and it is designed for extremely close encounters. I sometimes carry it as a BUG.

Personally I would carry it as a BUG, but as I said it's for my wife. And the issue with her is that women's clothes are generally so tight that trying to conceal anything larger is going to be a real PITA unless she steals my clothes (which she has been doing lately since she had twins last week). And here in Oklahoma we're still fighting for OC so CC is the only option for us and I really don't want her putting the gun in her purse as she has a habit of leaving her purse around.

So we're kinda in a tight spot in terms of her carrying a gun.
