Seems like a good deal but I don't know anything about this brand. Any thoughts?

My brother bought the same one except 9mm at a gun show last year. The trigger has about an 30lb pull, no exaggeration.

I shot it about 5 times when he first got it, and couldn't get on paper from 10 ft. Got through 20 rounds and the hammer spring wasn't it strong enough to make a dent any more.

In short, run away lol.

My guess is that it is a piece of crap.

Bought my brother the brushed finish version. Not fun to shoot at all and I had to work the trigger lots of dry firing and some good grease to the trigger parts. The trigger is not pulled straight back but rocked downward and back which is why the trigger pull feels so heavy. It's intentional though in the design.

I just like pocket guns. I have a 5 shot .22 derringer and a bigger bore would be cool to have. So the trigger is God awful and I figured it was not going to be "fun" to shoot.

Just takes some work. I was able to hit paper with one but I always remind myself they were the pistol of choice for prostitutes a century or so ago...

Due to this thread I handled one of these at a gun show today.

Umm, it is what it is.

Yea, I mean it's an across the poker table type gun. It's not designed to be accurate very far.
