Buddy of mine cleaned out some stuff out of a long abandoned home on some land he bought, found this piece and gave it to me.

Cleaned it up, only damage is a scratch or two.

Can anyone provide input as to it's reliability? Georgia allows permitless carry so it'd be a good gun for the daughter assuming it is at least semi reliable.

You might want to ask the Outdoor Board

It sounds cool.

And that’s half the battle right there

Buy your daughter a proper gun.

Never heard of that particular gun, but a quick Google search shows the MSRP is around $250. Given what other reputable brand name pistols are going for, I'd compare it to like a Jiminez or some other cheap gun like that. And I'd never want to bet my life on a Jiminez.

ETA: Maybe Diamondback is another comparable pistol. I wouldn't bet my life on a Diamondback either.

I’d take it to the police department to make sure it isn’t stolen or used in a crime. Wouldn’t want your daughter carrying around a hot or dirty piece.

Reviews on the gun itself are few and far between online.

And yeah the guns cleared and all that. I put about 30 rounds out and it didn't jam. Reasonably accurate.

This seemed like a good place to check it out if anyone has used one. Cheap doesn't always mean terrible.

This is true but there's probably a good reason they aren't very popular at that price.

For just a bit more than the MSRP i saw, you could buy a Taurus or a S&W Shield and know for a fact you have a reliable pistol in the hands of your daughter.

Shield, G43 or even a Ruger would be better. I may run well but they have a bad rep for reliability/ durability. Keep it as a backup to your backup and get her a proper pistol.

Assuming it’s not stolen or illegal , the question is would you bet your life on it. I know my answer.

It's junk. If you're looking for a cheap crappy gun you might as well get a Hi-Pernt.

I wish I could help, but I'm unfamiliar with guns ever since I lost all of mine in a tragic boating accident.

I'd go with a Sig P365xl for my daughter. Great pistol that fits a smaller hand.
