They say the firing pins are fixed so it might be an OK gun.

I do not know what your intended use will be but I got about 400 shots between repairs. Finally sold it after about 1200 shots.

In my opinion the $ are better spent on a Stoeger if you need cheap and quick. The best option is to save and keep your eyes open for a used/ new B-gun. In the end you will be much happier. I ended up with a b-gun and have put 1000s of rounds through it and it is as tight as the day I bought it with no FTFs. Would have saved $ had I just waited.

Do a search there are a ton of threads regarding this gun. Good luck in your search.

People keep buying them because they are cheap. There is no good cheap o/u. That includes the Stoeger, it's just another cheaply made gun. Save your money a while longer and get a decent gun.

Ding, Ding, Ding - we have a winner.

Direct, too the point and dare I say, pithy.
