I find the stock too long, it is awkward to shoot, heavy, etc. I have one because of its place in history, but honestly I hate shooting it and consider it one of the worst subguns around. The Greasegun is much better. The UZI is much better. The MP5, the Sterling, the Beretta, the Walther, etc -- all much better.
