Owned this for about 6 months

I owned this pistol for about 6 months. Shot about 200 rounds. It jammed a lot. The magazine is impossible to fully load with out a "loading tool". Yes, it is small and good for CC. I had purchased it for my wife to CC but because of reliability, difficulty loading the mags and racking it I traded it in for another pistol.

Lots of jams, misfeeds until broken in

Also very picky about ammo. Finally tried the Amscor brand and the pistol ate it up. Fun to shoot. Easy to rack.
