Back in the day, the little piece DID NOT WORK! My LGS refused to carry them, allegedly S&W threatened to cut off their supply of real guns, he told them the letter would be in a full page ad in Shotgun News. They backed down allegedly when the distributors refused all deliveries which included the M61. "Handgun Tests" magazine came into existence because the M61 was praised in the regular Gun Rags of the day, but never worked in the real world.
It is a collectors item, like the little Colt Deringers which were never designed to shoot.

Who notes even the Walther TPH had problems, I don't know about the .22LR baby Berettas and Taruii steel and plastic which are still offered.
