I bought one of these at a gun show a few years ago, threw it in the closet for a home protection gun. recently took the kids out to the range to shoot.. shot 50 rds through it. Opened it up to clean it the next day and WOW very unpleasant surprises .. chips and cracks in the slide mech. not to mention VERY poor craftsmanship throughout. Keep this gun in the closet for that one day you may need it, but don't use it for a plinker or target gun. It won't stand up. Better yet, if you haven't shot it, sell it and buy a name brand, even a used gun would be better than this. Maybe once upon a time Jennings - Bryco made a good .25. Don't let that fool you! I should post pictures but I doubt most of you would be the least bit surprised. Good lesson though.. I'll never buy another handgun without taking it down and inspecting it first.
