    I don't know how, but I see these are still available in the $200 range still. Such a bargain really.

    I’ve had three of those over the last 20 years. The worst thing about those guns is the model name.

    Have/had 4 in my hands in the last year. Sold one, still have 3. Son #5 is using one for a carry gun short term b/n returning from overseas and prior to upcoming deployment. I am also carrying one. I shoot it very well in defensive drills, as well as a Smith Mdl 10. Love it. Last one I bought from a buddy last wkend just to get the 3 extra mags at a great price! I don't shoot it as well, and rear sight blade opening is narrower than I like, so it will go on the block, but I am keeping the 3 extra mags. Cost me $40 to get an extra mag for the carry one! Altamont has some very nice wood grips/I will end up with set. And the LAG kydex holster is not bad. I will def keep the one I am carrying, and prob the spare that my son has now.

    A lot of my students buy these to use as carry guns. Very reliable and accurate to boot. They will eat anything you feed them. JSP, JHP, FMJ, cast, anything.

    One of my students last week shot hers for the first time (After I showed her how to break it down and clean it) and shot a 2 inch group with Wolf ammo. Not bad for $200.

    The only thing bad about them is finding magazines for them.

    I heard the same thing about magazines. There s supposed to be a aftermarket that will work.

    They do shoot lights out! Least all mine have! And reason I bought the 4th one that I really didn't need - GREAT price PLUS 3 extra mags! I am now lucky and mag rich for all mine!

    Anything further on this? Who makes it?

    Any other magazines that can be modified to work?

    Knowledge I take to my grave is wasted.

    I prefer to use cartridges born before I was.

    Success doesn't make me happy, being happy is what allows me to be successful.
