Lorcin/Raven Arms/Davis/what other names they have changed to, are low end quality guns at best. They have a history of being some of the problem children of the gun industry. I have seen a number of them and they are often not able to fire, fortunately. The vast majority of them have problems when using hollow point ammunition and many are not very reliable with full metal jackets. The parts themselves are as low of quality that will get the gun through what warranty period they are given or until the next sale of the company and name change, whichever comes first. That I don't think much of them is not totally true, they were a good gun for ''buy back'' programs. I know a lot of them that were turned in down in The Cities during a gun buy back program many years ago. They could be bought for $35 and upon turning them in, you were given $50 per gun. There was a maximum turn in of 3 guns per person, per drop off site, per day. I know of people whom brought their wives down for a weekend and dropped off 6 Davis guns (they were being clearanced out for even less as the name was being changed to Raven Arms) at the 8 sites for a total profit of more than $720 a day, $1440 a weekend. That was better than the weekly base pay of most senior police officers in The Cities at the time. If you are lucky enough to have this type program locally available, the Lorcin would be a good deal. If not, putting the money in Mason jars and burying them in the yard would put you further ahead.
