I got one for my wife a few years ago as an anniversary present. She LOVES it.
I had my son carry it in the woods last year while archery hunting too.
The only thing about it is, when the mag is fully loaded (10 rounds) it can jamb (FTL I think some call it here in the forum.) To prevent that from happening, I just kept the mag loaded to 7 max at first. I have kept the mags fully loaded in the case for most of the time and the last time we shot with it, I could have 9 rounds in the mag without an FTL occurrence.
Also, the slide has a catch where it will occasionally not fully load the round. When that happens, I just lightly tap the back of the slide with my palm and it loads. I think this is part of the FTF with 10 rounds problem. I haven’t checked lately, but after keeping the mags fully loaded for a while, I expect to be able to not have that problem any more.
Great plinker! Good kids first pistol too. I’d say it is on a par with the Ruger .22 pistols for a kid’s first gun.
