Go for it.  They're solid handguns, if uninspiring.

I have one.  I don't like it.  I won't sell it because it was a present from someone I care deeply about, but its ergonomics suck ass for me.  I can NEVER draw that pistol and have it point where I look, so it sits in a strategic location as a secondary HD weapon.

I don't have that problem with S&W revolvers, Kahrs, or S&W M&Ps.

That said, the price is good and the weapon's quality is very good.

Buy it.  I like Smith autos and have always had good luck with them.  Mags easy to find and not to spendy.  Some but not all Smith 5900 leather should work.  If the pastic parts bug you I think most can be swapped out.

Good price.

Terrific price for an average gun, IMO.

These guns are almost indestructable, on the up-side; on the downside they're pedestrian & mods are extremely limited, mostly only the sights.

It would make a great little truck gun, if it ever got stolen you won't cry like you would a Sig/H&K, etc.

Well , I bought it and got it home and decided to re-blue it and give it a good cleaning . I'm going to take it to the gun shop I deal with and put it up for sale for $295 and try to turn a little profit . The bluebook on it in this condition is $290 so I think it may go soon . I've had good luck with this method in the past .    maxx

It ain't no pimp gun.


But they are solid reliable weapons.
