Parma Auto Nine

[Alex]

The other day I was wandering through the local gunshop and they had an unusual little 22 LR pistol on display. The gun looks like a baby browning and has an alloy frame and blued steel receiver. The brand name was Parma and I believe the name on the gun was Auto Nine. Has anyone had one of these, there practically giving it away so I was just curious how reliable they are.

I had an FTL Auto Nine, same gun.
It was reliable with proper ammo, in my case, Rem HV or HVHP. It was a remarkably compact auto which served as my security blanket in various unnamed places. It hides well behind a thin wallet in the back pocket. It uses an internal hammer with a cross bolt safety. The little mag holds an amazing 9 rounds. I always carried chamber empty. Wish I kept it, but my Kel Tec P32 fills the Auto Nines' spot nicely. How much are they going for? Forgot what I paid.
