it seems like based on various experiences that you would be buying it walking into it eyes wide open that you may or may not get a good copy. Again for the money it probably would be fun to work on it for a while, but out of the box not sure I would carry it until I shot a bunch of rounds through it. Seems like a neat little pistol though. I had the berretta bobcat once, that thing while not that accurate was reliable with most anything.
