The 'pocket full of brass' myth, often linked to the Newhall Incident, is debunked as a likely training scar.

It features a durable build, a reliable DA/SA trigger with second-strike capability, and Novak sights, making it a solid option for home defense or range use, especially as a high-value police trade-in.
