Wow...anyone have any experience or knowledge with this pistol?

I saw this. Is it as good as the Ruger LCP?

Lawdog89 loved the one he got https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=215913
If I had the funds I'd scoop one up based just on his review

Doubtful. Very, very, doubtful. I spend half my life in gun shops for work. (Well at least I used to, changing jobs in January) I would never buy much of anything from a Freedom Group company. Just my .02 from what I've seen.
My choice for a small SD pistol would be a Glock (any), an SR9C, an LC9, or a Taurus Gen 2 Millennium (say what you want, it's a nice reliable pistol, I've shot the hell out of them).
Just my .02.

Yes, but the Glock, an SR9C, an LC9, or a Taurus Gen 2 Millennium aren't $99
I hope it's not worse than a high point. I bought one of those to see what you could get for about $100. Well, not much!

I have one and I love it. Shoots great and eats anything you put in it. I would buy two more if I could. Magazines are dirt cheap too.
Trade you a High Point.

There's one pouting in the corner because it hasn't been to the range yet. With the $100 Remington rebate, I couldn't resist. Fits my hand nicely with the mag extension. There's plenty of space between the spur, the slide, and the meatbag ... which is nice for something this small. The slide return spring is surprisingly light, which should make this less-intimidating to new shooters.
It's definitely right-hand-only, in spite of the ambi mag release. The slide holds-open when the mag is empty, but there's not enough purchase on the slide stop to drop the slide with your thumb.
Fit and finish is nice. The DA trigger is long, but moves pretty smoothly. No external safety (compensated by a fairly heavy trigger pull.)
Will poke some holes in paper and let y'all know.

Oh, and it has a gen-you-ine METAL frame. What's not to like about that?
I've had mine a week and shot it a bunch.
Accuracy is OK, the long trigger pull and double action only has to be compensated for, but fine for a cheap "point and shoot" gun.
Sights are tiny and hard to see against a dark target, so a little white fingernail polish improved sight visibility.

While on the topic, anyone know a good priced FFL to go through who won’t completely ruin the good deal with fees?

I've worked with Bob at Shooting Ventures in Monrovia. His fees are the best I've found anywhere near me. He's a good guy, too.

The Daughter has asked me to stop stealing her nail polish. (It's a good substitute for red glyptal, though the glitter probably reduces its electrical voltage rating.)

I contacted Gym Ratz about this gun yesterday to see if he could come close to the price. He said he could do it for $175 however they are out of stock.
Holy chit after the rebate it would be $75. I think I would even roll the dice at that price if they were local.
