I need your help

[ougoug]

I recieve a lorcin L-25 as a house warming gift and I have not had any dealing with this manufactor before. My friend that gave me the gun he bought it for his mother 10 years ago fired it one and it stayed in hs mother dresser till now it doesnt seem like a bad gun it a .25 cal . I was hoping for some insite into this gun and if it is even worth going out to buy the ammo for

No, not really.

It's a gun... not much more to it than that. It's not the safest design, being a single-action striker-fired piece. I'd still recommend that, until you get your hands on a higher-quality piece with safer carry modes, you get to learn the Lorcin. If you are into guns enough to be here asking, you probably are thinking of having a home-defense piece. The .25 is a poor choice, but it was given to you, so learn it, then rock it. No sense going unarmed while getting together the scratch to get a better gun.
Check out the forums over at www.bryco-jennings-jimenezarms.com for more info from people that have these types of guns and know them inside and out.
By the way, I have, in addition to higher-quality guns, a Jennings J-22, very similar in design to your Lorcin. Since I have no use for an unloaded gun, it is one of several stashed "shoot-my-way-to-a-bigger-gun" guns.. (though I almost always have a bigger piece on my person.)

It can't hurt to get one box of ammo and try to run some through it.

Those Lorcins are notorious for accidental discharges. I have a cousin that had one for a concealable pocket pistol. He got rid of it after 3 discharges. Luckily nobody was shot. The thing would go off if you squeezed the grips too hard.
Get rid of it as fast as you can and you won't have to worry about any acciental discharges.
Your welcome
