My first gun was a Kareen MkII which is an Israeli BHP knockoff.
I really did not know much in 1994 when I bought it - they guy at the store kind of talked me down from a real BHP at the time (selling me on the beavertail grip, etc).
Anyway, The gun has some very serious slop in the slide to frame fitting. You can hold the frame and the front of the slide/barrel will move back and forth at least 1/4 inch - you can make it rattle by wiggling it
Anyway - The gun has some sentimental value, but it shoots like 20" groups at 15 yards (give or take).
Can this be corrected at a reasonable expense? I doubt I could do it, but if I take it to a competent smith, can he do it for under $100?
Any advice would be appreciated.
