In all honesty, I've only seen two of them at the range, a 380 and a 9mm. Both of them worked without problems as long as I was there, don't know what ammo types they were shooting though. They are "somewhat" crude and IMO fugly guns If I were still in the Nat. Guard and thought I was getting deployed to a sandy region, I might acquire one on the theory that I could stand to abandon/lose such a thing far less painfully than my P35 or WW2 era 1911A!. BTW I don't consider any of these comments as any type of recomendation, just casual ramblings on my part.
