I'd say hang onto one and it will become a collector's item one day...

I've never seen one.

I see that these pistols were made in the United Arab Emirates and also in Germany.

Wonder which ones were imported to the US?

The design flaw is that they are UGLY AS HELL..bahahaha..but in all seriousness be careful if u own one..that's 3 manufacturers in a month..what company is next??

 

[Champ62]

Slides possibly breaking at the ejection port.

Yep, ugly.

 

[Garpo]

I would go so far as calling it fugly or Glock like.:madgrin:

 

[flyandscuba]

The same guy who designed it -- Wilhem Bubits -- designed the Steyr M & S series pistols, and worked for Glock before that...

I have always been interested in shooting one of these it's a shame that it has a design flaw.

 

[Stagman]

They have the lowest bore axis of any semi auto pistol on the market

A Steyr M series will be close and a safer bet. I almost bought one a couple of years ago but ended up with a Glock. The Steyr actually felt much better in the hand but I let someone talk me out of it. hwell:

Had a steyr M-9 liked it very much , had someone that wanted it , wish I hadn't let it go still got a bunch of mags for it just my 2 cents jj

Shame, I held a compact in 9MM at a gun show . Felt much better in my hand than any Glock .
