Jimenez Arms?

[richdelillo]

My father-in-law saw some guns by Jimenez Arms at a gun show and wanted to know what I thought about them. I had never heard of them. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Junk. Jennings, Bryco, similar. Stay away!

Come on now, don't drag that sort of stuff into this forum. Jiminez Arms and "accurate shooter" have as much in common as "integrity" and "Congress".

RichD: As previousely said, "junk". These "pistols" primary purpose is for close range ( like in an elevator), self-defense, and for that you better have a 100% reliable pistol, which most of these are not.

It's common for them to not reliably feed a cartridge from the magazine into the chamber, mostly due to the poor quality of the magazines, and not reliably (there's that word again) eject the empty, fired case.
Both spelling disaster for the user. If the pistol goes "click" instead of "bang", you are in big trouble.

Take any one with a box of factory full metal jacket, round nose ammo (the most reliable design) and test fire & the results will speak for themselves. If that ammo should function 100%, only then would the carry ammo, (like hollowpoints) be tested.

If anyone values their life, their only choices should be Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Colt, Glock, Sig and several of the other big name makers. And even then, before carrying concealed (with a permit, of course), a couple hundred rounds of the same type of ammo that will be carried, must be fired to verify reliability. Even the big names will sometimes have feed and ejection stoppages. But at least with them, they will be around to stand behind their product. "Jimenez Arms": who knows.
