I have actually heard some good things about it given the price (they used to be $99 for the basic pistol and about $35 for the additional longer "target" barrel. $200 seems a little steep. For that much you should get a Ruger MKII new or used it will be a much better gun. Like I said, for $99 I heard good things, but not good enough to warrant spending $200, too many other options, like another Mak, a FEG Hi-Power, old .22 rifles. Those are my choices.
