anyone know anything about these?

a buddy was looking at one for his wife as a ccw. initial impression didn't look terrible for a low use kel-tec style gun. i can't find anyone locally that knows anything at all about them firsthand.

i found one web forum that sounded hit or miss, but i usually take that stuff with a grain of salt on forums where i don;t know anyone.

From what I've read, they're crap. Get a Kel-Tec.

I was traveling and stopped in a gunshop that was trying to sell me on these. They looked like a kel-tec with a thumb safety.

Never seen one in person, he was trying to get me to order one right there.

a co-worker had one bought for her by her father for protection. it was a piece of crap (wouldn't feed jhp at all) and she's getting something else now.

you'd be better off with a broken skyy vodka bottle for protection.

For those (like me

The profile does sort of resemble a K-T...

thats what i was wondering.

the gunshop owner told me they company has been calling him weekely trying to push them into ordering tons of them and that the margin was good but he hadn't sold the first one.

finish looked decent on the 2 he had but i'd never heard of them and was hoping to get some first hand accounts.

sounds like this is one to pass on for them.

it is "slightly" bigger than small 9mm.

I almost want to say there was a legal problem with their design being so close to the Kel-Tec's, but I'll have to do some looking first.

Owner/president was on several gun boards when they first came out, pretending to be an extremely satisfied customer. Once "outed" he came back and apologised, but I still wouldn't do business with them.

I've owned a few Kel-Tecs (P11, P32, Sub2000) and they all worked fine. No frills and a bit rough around the edges, but functional, reliable, and fairly accurate.

It looks interesting. I hadn't seen it either.

I wonder if there's any fluff & buff that can be done to improve its reliability.

n/m, no need to stir the pot.
