    For that money, I would buy two used gen3 G17s, which you KNOW would run.

    When I hear "rotating barrel" on a handgun I get nervous...the PX4 has a rotating barrel and it's absolute garbage, for example. Or the Colt All American, which I think had a rotating barrel as well.

    If I was going to buy a pistol of questionable design in the hopes that a low barrel axis was going to be worth something - which I am increasingly starting to think is practically meaningless - I'd be trying to get my hands on a Caracal, which MAY turn out to be a great pistol.
    Owning is easy; it's doing that's hard. Remember that advice on the internet often comes from people who own things...but are not especially skilled in their use.

    Yep it would be a tough sell at $950 + importer and dealer markup. I could see them doing well at $500 just because it's something different and at that price it wuld be worth taking a chance. When you're up against a sig though I don't see many takers.

    It supposed to be light, reliable and super accurate due to multiple locking systems... I would go for $1200, but with 6 mags... lower is always better Any volume discounts?
