I bought one in a moment of weakness back around 1991 or so. Believe it or not it has been mostly reliable, with the occasional failure to extract but nothing that would ruin a day of casual plinking. I definitely would not trust it for self defense, however. It stays reliable because I keep it clean and use only Mini-Mags or Stingers in it.
Why do I hang onto it? Well, because 1) it's not worth anything so there's no point in selling it, and 2) it is a good teaching tool for others who refuse to believe that a small, cheap pistol like this should be taken seriously. It only needs to keep running long enough to kill or injure the other guy, so if you're "the other guy" respect that your assailant has a gun in his hand and can still kill you with it.
