I bought this gun as a p linker and it served that function. It never failed a single time. I sold it after a year or so, not because of anything wrong with it but I wanted to buy another gun. If you are thinking of buying his gun, I will say it is dead

My bedroom gun. I serves the purpose. Characteristically, short barrel 9MM not good at long range but effective for self defense. Have to get used to staged trigger, which took some shooting but that is what I have it for.

O.K. 9mm single stack. Had issues with the first one I bought, but this one is flawless. Would be a neat carry gun, but the sights catch on everything.

Unacceptable. Retaining clip came loose 2x in the first 4 magazines, shat the retaining pin on the floor the second time. 4 fails to feed on top of that. Back it goes. The Bud's transaction, for the record, was excellent.
