BTW, true story;
I asked a friend if I could shoot on his property out in the country. He agreed and came out with me to shoot his pistol, which turned out to be a Jennings.
<insert collective moan here>
As we were walking a considerable distance back to his woods. He was on a constant diatribe about how people pay way too much for guns. He'd bought two Jennings' for $75 each (the other was for his wife), they were both 100% reliable, and had never let him down. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda...
So we got out to the woods, set out some assorted targets and a computer,
(That's a different story!) pulled out an AR-15 and proceeded to start blowing things up. After a while we decided to switch over to handguns so he pulls out his mighty Jennings, sights on the target, and....click! Jacks another round in, tries again and...click! After about five more attempts he tries using some of my ammo and...click...click...click! Turns out he and his wife have been carrying these things for a couple of years and had never attempted to fire either one. He was also kind of surprised that I totally refused to even try to fire his gun. I told him I'm too fond of my hand to try shooting a Jennings with it.
Anyway, both Jennings, still unfired (although his wife's never tried), wound up being bent up in a vice and tossed into a pond on his property.
His wife now carries a S&W J-frame and he carries a Bersa which meets almost all of his reasons for buying a Jennings except it actually works. BTW, we did a 200 round break in on the Bersa, without a hiccup, a couple of days after he got it!
