Just my opinion, but heck of a deal for 40 bucks. I mean the ammo is worth half that. Just shoot it and make sure it is dependable. I own several guns and i choose the least expensive pistol I have as my home defense gun. Mainly for these two reasons: My wife is comfortable with it and it goes boom ever time you pull the trigger. At least it has for the last several thousand times. It all about what works for you and what you are comfortable with. Don't get discouraged. This site is full of gun enthusiast. Not many on here would be excited about an entry level gun. The bottom line is does it work for you? Good luck shooting your new gun and be safe.
