It had been there a month earlier when I was buying a Jericho 9mm. Then it had a twin and was $175. I knew my shooting buddy was looking for a car gun, so I sent him a picture to see if he was interested. He came back with an emphatic NO, saying they had horrible triggers and that he hated the .40 cartridge. (Why would anyone hate a cartridge?)

This time I gave it a good look over and was impressed. Very Glocky, but with a much better grip. Nice sights and I like the two-tone look. The trigger is not bad.

I think the previous posters are right that many people buy them as starter guns and then move on. I’ll shoot this tomorrow, and I suspect I’ll like it.
