I have seen a couple of these thru the years and have been told they weren't of very good quality. Is that true?

I'm no expert at ALL on these weapons....... but to me it looks like a clumbsy little gun???

I'm sure someone can give us a leason on these thou.......... anyone???;)

[keithreid]

what i've read is the sear bar on the left side of the frame can set the pistol off if something pushes against it. it's been a while since i read up on these though.
iirc, from the reading, the pistol can be fired while in a holster if the wearer leans up against something. y'all have a good day, Keith

Now that you mention that about the safety of those pistols, I do remember reading that years ago. You rattled my memory.;)
