I haven’t owned or shot one, but I’d seriously recommend you talk with some good gunsmiths. Even the guys that sell them say they’re junk. And really when you think about it, how can someone sell a new pistol for $100 that you’d want to rely on for your safety. If you just want something to shoot at the range and you don’t care how it functions, knock yourself out. But I’d still go to the range and rent one first if you can. Just my nickels worth.
