In my opinion they are some of the shittiest guns on the market. Everybody I have known who has owned one and has gone to shoot with me and my buddies has gone from "this thing isn't that bad, it hasn't even jammed" to "I can't figure out why my gun keeps jamming" after about 300-400 rounds. I don't know if it is because they use poor quality metal in the parts, or what but they seem to be prone to extraction and firing pin problems. I have seen 2 of them bend firing pins through normal use, I have seen one extractor spring fatigue after just a few boxes of ammo, and I have seen a recoil spring fatigue after about 200 rounds. The people I know who maintain their guns properly seem to get a little better life out of them, but still not enough to where I would let my life rely on one. I would much rather just try to find a Rossi or H&R revolver, if that was all my budget would allow.
