See how well it turns out. Looks good.

Funny thing is, when I was living in San Diego I went into the pawnshop selling this a couple of times, I had Washington ID so I couldn't buy a gun there though. IIRC they were trying to sell a plastic Olin flare pistol for like $50 or so. Which is funny you can get them *much* cheaper than that at West Marine and with flares to boot.

I'm gonna keep my J-22, but beyond that I think I'm done with autoloading SNS'. Gonna concentrate on the RG's and other imported revolvers.

Be sure to check your RG's out very closley before you buy. They shoot well, but often the timing is off due to bad springs or worn ratchets. Just like SNS auto loaders they have a place for self defense, but don't last long as plinkers.

Got the thing recently. And I'm pissed. Ad claimed "steel frame" and "excellent" bore. Zamac frame, and the bore cleaned up excellent after I scrubbed the rust out of it. I'm probably gonna sell the dang thing just out of annoyance.
