A guy I used to work with,  also a gun enthusiast,  spoke very highly of
those,  he had one as I recall.

I have one of those,  too.

I had *one* problem with the one I've got,  but that's about it.  It's a
"FEG" Hungarian model.  I have seen some others,  like some
Russian-made ones,  but wasn't as impressed with the quality of the work.

A lot easier to slip into a pocket than some other things I can think of!
