I bought one at the local Gander Mountain store in Henrietta NY a week ago. A friend also bought one. Both are nearly new; only the slightest holster wear of the bluing on the sharpest edges of the muzzle. Holster is nearly new. Comes with 2 magazines. I also picked up 2,500 rounds of ammo from J&G sales to feed it and a PPSh41. The M57 was loaded with cosmoline. Complete disassembly is necessary, but also very easy with this pistol. There's a lot of chatter on other forums about these guns; nearly all positive.
The J&G ammo is as dirty as all hell, but it goes bang and is accurate in both weapons. I think it contains coal or peat.
Do I like it? Well, I just ordered a second one. For $199 it's a steal. The ammo is dirt cheap.
