I`ve never really carried for them, but that deosn`t mean their not a good gun, they just never did anything for me. I did have a good friend that had one and loved it. Alot of the shiloete shooters used to use them so they can`t be to bad. If it`s cheap you can`t go wrong on any gun. Heck I even bought a .40 S&W semi-auto the other day and I`ve never had any use for a center fire semi-auto handgun. I`ll give it to my daughter for a consield carry gun if she wants it and if not I`ll make acouple bucks on it.
