The two I've had were not in the realm of stellar dependability, let's say.... but I wouldn't call it a bad gun, though. They are charming and innovative, and very ergonomically friendly--feel great in the hand. The originator/ first owner of the enterprise made a terrible deal with a distributor which had the effect of sinking all early versions of the company. The gun's design was not the reason for its demise.

The one bright spot about the Olympic Arms model--before it also became discontinued/obsolete a scant few years into its resurrected polymer form--was that all parts were identical, which makes fixing up an original easier. The ventilated rib on the v2.0 ruined its Buck Rogers lines.



They chrome plated some of the frames. The history of the pistol's different offerings is sorta interesting... Any idea what they're asking for it? Does it have white plastic grips?
I have not contacted the seller yet, and they don,t have a site to check out the listing.will call Monday.
