    Have you shot it yet? I have been looking for a pocket pistol and this is one I might be interested in considering the price. How about a range report...

    Still breaking in the one bought last month. No jams out of 100 rounds, BUT feeding issues with racking first round using flat point ammo, no issues with hardball. Only seems to be a problem out of the first two when hand racking, after that smooth. Once they make it to the chamber though they function fine. For now one up is loaded with one round in the mag, then load the mag to capacity, second mag the first round is a hardball. I am hoping this issues clears up with more rounds being fired.

    Be warned getting the spring back in is not easy.

    Thanks Walkingwolf for the info on the Spectrum.Seems like all of the small pocket pistols have some type of problem.

    Took me an hour to get the spring back in, frustrating.

    I wouldn't say that is always the case.

    Trick to the recoil spring. Use needle nose vise grips after you compress it. Place it then release the grips.
    One round at a time.
