It looks like an upgrade of the PT-22. I have the PT-22 and the PT-25 (25acp). They’re good guns for the price but I’m not a fan of the tip-up barrel. Here’s why: The tip-up is for a reason. This design of pistol has an extremely stiff slide. I’m guessing that most women cannot rack the slide. That being the case, to chamber a round, you must have a round on-hand, tip the barrel, insert the round and close the barrel. Not the most handy arrangement especially for folks like me who have age-old muscle memory for other loading methods. Again, good gun for the price but not for me. Stay safe and vote for you-know-who! TOO BIG TO RIG! jerry
Brazil is a dictatorship. I would never buy a firearm from them or Turkey.
Id like to have one of these in .32ACP as a back-up to the back-up.
