OK Tallbald. Hang on here. Before you get discouraged, and go off somewhere, let me suggest the following.
Hit Google. Hard. search up "Lorcin," "Lorcin review," "Lorcin range report," also look up Saturday Night Specials (yes it's a highly controversial term, but it's what most people call guns of this type.) See the objective reviews and general opinions of these guns.
You'll see that unlike the S&W K frame you mentioned wanting in the Revolver sub forum, Lorcins are..well… quite frankly very poor quality. The S&W is a nice gun and worth seeking out.
Lorcin is up there with Raven, Bryco and Jennings. They are guns that are poor quality, not meant to actually last, and are meant to cater to the lowest budget imaginable.
Considering that for $800 one could have a new Sig, Beretta, or many other very high quality guns that will outlast his grandchildren, someone is not thinking clearly to try to get a gun that may not outlast the first case of ammo.
There is a reason that high-end holster makers don't make holsters for Lorcins. They are low quality guns and the people who buy them, usually can't afford good holsters. If they could afford them, they'd be buying better guns in the first place.
Do your research, but really now, think about this before you really decide that a Lorcin is the gun of your dreams.
Edit:
When I started typing, fishbed hadn't replied yet with the above. I really have to wonder why this thread wasn't saved for April 1st.
