Happened to see an Accu-Tek/Excel Industries, Inc in .380, sort of a PPK clone. What's the story on them? Any good?

To answer my own question.... I did some Googling and the only references were not good ones - they get mentioned in crime reports in situations where you would find a Jennings or Hi-Power. The only comments I saw directed to the quality of the gun are extremely dismissive. One report said that you had to replace the wood grip panels every 200 rounds, because a mechanism inside the grip would wear against the wood. Egad.

Nice to note that they are apparently American-made. In California. Where they are not legal. Geeze. What a mess.

After reading up on this pygmy-nightmare, I feel like I need to wash my eyeballs.
