It will not fire a full magazine without at least 2 failures to extract (FTE). This is with both Blazer aluminum and PMC and Mag-something brass cartridges. The extractor only gets a little bite on the rim and often pulls loose. So this is totally unacceptable as a self-defense gun. The shells also seem to be a lot more scratched and roughened on the half that is farthest in the chamber, than I remember with other guns. So the barrel may not be very well polished in the chamber.
Since I had already planned to send in for the $20 chrome update, the problem will be fixed. They will replace the barrel and slide with new parts, and I will get to check reliability again.
Accuracy is good for that small of a gun. Trigger has sharp edges that will get sanded. The grip chafes when it twists in recoil and to fire boxes of ammo, I wore a thin leather glove.

Don't trust your life to a gun you haven't tested! That goes for revolvers too.
