Got this gun in a deal. Gave $50 off the asking price of old reloading equiptment I was selling, From what I have found this gun is a complete POS. Anyone ever dealt with them?


I have very little hope for this gun, but I am hoping to hear something decent about it.

A friend once had one in .22LR. We fired a few shots with it but we kept getting splattered with lead from between the cylinder and barrel. He decided to use it as a blank-firing starting pistol.

From what I have read, its worth its weight in scrap metal. not looking good.

Not a good reputation. Have you shot it yet? Ya gonna? I'd shoot one cylider full to get a point of impact and keep it in the night stand.

I did shoot it today, Shot decent. Hit a paper plate from 10 yard 4 of 5 shots. Its a snub nose so I expect that kind of accuracy with that factored into it being a cheapo. I think its going to be the truck gun. Just stay in the door of the truck for something to keep on hand, If it gets stolen, Oh well.

An equally good use for it.
