The first ones that came out of SKKY/SCCY factory were riddled with a lot of troubles. The newer ones have been fixed and are said to be reliable. Note: this is what I learned from the internet and local gun shops. You can peruse the SCCY Forum at SCCY Forum ? Index page and it is filled with a lot of good info. I did consider adding one to my collection, till I found the Mil Pro.
285 is a good price - for a 9mm pistol with 2 magazines and good CS. Will it go the distance? Your guess is as good as mine.
