Ever Hear of Jiminez Arms?

[Irving]

Was it a Jimenez or Jensen that went full auto at a range and shot three people a while ago? I know it was posted on here. I think the issue was that the firing pin got stuck out and when the slide was released on a full mag it dumped the mag, into people.

The mere fact that these guns can trace their lineage to Raven Arms should be a huge red flag.... I have a Raven .25 that I have owned for over 10 years, but am afraid to fire, based on the "quality" of the machining. Maybe I'll encase it in a block of casting resin and use it as a non-PC paperweight....

yep, i read up on these and someone onn a different forum (dont have the link) said that when he was at the range someone was shooting one of these and the slide flew backwards and killed the man who was shooting. so...if i want a crappy cheap gun i think id just get a hipoint

Well, lets put it this way...last year, a pawn shop next to where I worked was $20 short of their sales goal for the month, and it was the 31st. They offered me a Jiminez .25 pistol for $20...and I passed on it. Hit the mag release, and you still had to tug the mag out of the frame...

Straight from the website: (here's a link: http://www.shiningstardist.com/JA%20nine.htm)

Features: The flagship feature of the Jimenez Arms J.A. Nine is its easy to use massive screw adjustable rear sight which is adjustable for windage and elevation. Other, higher priced, pistols do not offer this kind of flexibility. The high visibility front sight is another great feature which adds to a highly effective sight pattern. These features coupled with a last round slide hold open makes this pistol uncommonly accurate and a delight at the range.

I once knew this horribly over weight and ugly girl. She owned a Jimenez.

Speaking of hipont I was watching a vid on youtube and the guy could rack the slide and chamber a round just by punching in a downward motion really fast. To me that screams high quality. Well I guess you can look "cool" while chambering a round. LOLOLOL!

Ok sorry for pooping on your thread now back to why Jimenez arms suck.

A few months back there was a video making the rounds of a well known competitive shooter (I forget who) doing just that with a Glock or XD, so I don't know if that means what you think it means.
