Our Assessment: This is a handy little .22 DA/SA semi-auto pistol that looks a lot like a Walther PPK, except that it has a hammer-blocking safety which is, in our mind, a much better design than a decocker. It has an alloy slide and frame that makes it very light. This example is in Excellent condition, showing light wear. The bore and mechanics are good and this ought to make someone a nice little plinker that can easily be carried in a backpack without adding any noticeable weight. Please see our photos.
