And they are FINICKY when it comes to ammo, at least mine is...I believe that is a quality of the .380 versions, and the S&W licensed models.

I worked with a guy a number of years ago that was a cop in National City (San Diego hood) and he carried one as a backup gun.
This is exactly why the SO wanted this gun.
Throw out usability, weigth, etc. IT LOOKS GOOD!
Oh, she also bought herself a Yugoslavian AK47.
