You have a point on this forum and for a lot of people, at least. Among many of my coworkers and local codgers living on Social Security, $100 is exactly the difference between a trailer loan payment and the bank taking their home to end up living in their car. Or could be spent on 500 rounds (make it 400 and then could also add a cabled lockbox for some level of secure storage) of 9mm/.380 to have a handgun and half-case of experience under their belt in the time it would take to save for a posurp striker gun. Given that my CPX-3 went back to maker within a few hundred rounds (still worked just way gross trigger that started instantly out of nowhere) I'm still not sure it's a worthwhile expenditure on a gun someone'd need right now. But if they were just getting one with time for mothership to sort any issues that may well crop up, I wouldn't personally be the rain cloud over their parade. My FFL would though as he refuses to so much as order one in even for the customer he knows will grind on stuff until there is either no more problem or no more gun. I had to order online and transfer through him.
With the income many P-F users have, and several have listed as equaling two range trips of ammo, it hardly be a sacrifice to try one out if only out of curiosity if one were so inclined. I'd be interested to see if opinions softened or were confirmed with more personal trigger time behind a meaningful number of units in experienced hands. All I can say is that, in my minimal experience (sample of one) and economic state of many around me, SCCY seems serviceable. And being serviceable while coming with 2-3 magazines, comprehensive warranty, quick warranty service, 10-round capacity, compact size, and costing only a hair over the non-ambi boat anchor that is a Hi-Point which comes with one or two magazines is a better use of some spare discretionary budget than I initially expected.
