It's a blowback 9mm with a cheap Zinc alloy frame and only enough steel in it to keep it from exploding. If you shoot it a lot it will fail. You paid about $45 too much for it.

OUCH!:eek:

Not untrue, but hurtful.

Look at it this way, some states are offering gun buy back programs. I think NY City just had one and was giving $200.00 for handguns. This way you made $150.00.

Seriously, the Jennings and Ravens are thought to be the Kings and Queens of the "Saturday Night Specials" and disposable guns. I would not recommend shooting it. If you really want to , have it checked out by a competent smith. Do not rely on it for a SD weapon.
