These little pocket pistols are now illegal the the PRM(Peoples Republic of Maryland) but it is no great loss.
Mine was made in the early 80's, is 22 caliber, CCI Stingers are recommended, and will reliably fire and feed if well lubed. Shot shells fire single shot, most other kinds of ammo, other than Stingers, don't feed reliably.
You better be close to what you are shooting, like 6-8 feet, to hit a human size target. Trigger is terrible.
It would be better than nothing, so far a firearm is concerned, but due to its hard trigger and non-accuracy, has no sporting value. Its value as a weapon would be limited by its poor reliability, again it runs if well lubed and is otherwise unlreliable. Stingers will reliably feed if gun is well lubed. It was cheap, but I would not buy it again.
If you get one and strip it, beware the recoil spring. It is super strong and will fly away. I would not give $50 for one and recommend that you don't either. Buy a CO2 pistol instead, more reliable, accurate and can fired in more locations.
Verdict: Junk-but you get what you pay for in this case.
