Honestly I'm loving it, so far it's only had one malfunction in the probably 500 or so rounds I've put through it, it was a failure to extract but the spent case basically fell out of the chamber upon clearing. The Manuel of arms is a bit wonky at first but after a while I got used to it. If you intend to use it just to plink with I highly recommend it, But if you intend to use it for home defense I'd go for a good AR.
