Answer
The value of these guns is found in their cost, and that's about it. It is overly large and heavy for the caliber. I would not ordinarily consider carrying a gun for self-protection that was not at least a 9mm. In the even that I have to for concealability's sake, I would carry something like the Kel-Tec P32. The .32 caliber is not ideal, but if I was going to use it, it would be because I needed a very tiny package. Dependability is a relative evaluation. It is certainly not as dependable as, say, a Glock. Lastly, it does not have good ergonomics and has a number of sharp edges that will present no issue as the range in a slow-fire session, but would become a great distraction when trying to operate the gun in self-defense training, or the "real thing" if it happened.
