no on both questions

From what I've heard they're little more than what are considered Saturday Night Specials, except chambered for .32 ACP, .380 ACP and 9mm ammunition.

Formerly called Bryco and Jennings Arms. Was a manufacturer of small, very cheaply made handguns from 22 LR to 380 ACP. Many years ago, there was a gun buy back program in the Minneapolis, MN area and these guns were commonly turned in for the $50 voucher as they could be bought wholesale for $30-$35. An FFL holder would show up and turn in 3 of these pistols (that was the max number of guns that could be turned in at one time) at each drop off point. There were 10 drop points so one could make $450 a day doing this. When the program ran out of vouchers, there were a lot of these guns available for $40 on dealers' shelves.
