    NO!!!!

    Don't get the Jennings!!!! They truly are junk. Everyone I know who has one has had it either jam every round or blow apart in their hands. In addition, they are a safety hazard. I have read reports that they are unsafe and have the peculiar habit of firing when you engage the safety and the trigger simultaneously. DO NOT BUY IT

    Never owned/fired a CZ, but I hear they are quality pistols. If you are on a budget, buy the missus a Ruger. I got one for my little woman, and she loves it. Accurate, reliable, and quality. Worth every penny.

    I have one and it is a real turd. The only reason I keep it is that it once belonged to a friend who died. Jams at least two times out of ten shots. Ten of them tied together make a decent boat anchor at best. Your wife deserves better.....

    Run away from the Jennings as fast as you can. It is true. They are junk!

    Save, research, then buy the best.Join the NRA, NOW!Teach them young, teach them safe, teach them forever, but most of all, teach them to VOTE!

    I made the mistake of buying a jennings 22 and it is a lousy gun. Trigger pull is very hard and couldnt hit the target with it at 10 feet (wasnt just me my brother couldnt hit either). Only put 20 rounds through it. I am going to sell it or sink it.

    Reb, yours actually feeds?!?!?!

    Mine won't shoot 2 rounds in a row without jamming. Sounds like you got the pick of the litter. Be happy!

    Like everyone said, NO!!!!! Stay far away from it. Very far away. The only ones who claim they like them are the ones who are trying get rid of them. You wife deserves better, much better. Trust us.
    Most of us speak from real experiences with these POS guns, or overpriced paper weights. GD
