Got one for my wife to carry in her truck several years ago. Shooting nothing but corbon 9mm, it has never failed in any way. Lots of officers carry them around here as backups in their patrol cars. We kept the one we have laying in the floor in a truck for a year or two, loaded, and picked it up to shoot a varmint, worked just fine, filthy. Can't say that they are a bad deal from my experience.
