I like mine for what it is. It is not a match gun, and it has a loooong hard trigger (This got a little better over time), but it does go bang every time I pull the trigger. I feel confident enough with it that I carry it. (Covered of course, wouldn't want anyone to see it.

)
I picked mine up when they were on sale for $250 after the rebate, and I recieved 4 mags total.
For an entry level pistol it serves me well.
