Decent? That will depend on what your intended usage is. Their quality has been hit and miss - in short, the ones that work do OK, the ones that don't require repairs. Handling is not what you would get with a better made gun, nor are the triggers as good. You need to check the POI/POA to see how well the barrels are regulated
