I had a lot of fun with this cheap gun.

It was a sort of cheap version of what is called a "rotary breach" action. The benefit is it's compact size. The action is only around 1" long, the rest is bore. I remember I did not like the simple spring extractor.

The stock is Rynite and the sear must be manually cocked with that little lever. There was a fancy swap barrel version called a "Competitor" and Magnum Research also had one but they were recalled. I paid a little over $200 for it, chambered in .32-20 Win. I was seating out 160 gr. cast gas check bullets and loading up W296 to get around 1600 fps and 1.5" 100 yd. groups. I'd like to find another cheap one some day. An interesting addition to a specialty handgun collection. I think it was called a SSP-89? or SSP-86?

there were several lawsuits over this gun and 2 or 3 others

just like it. Apparently the fellow that did the original design did like John Browning did and whored the gun out to anyone that would build it. And I think there were 3 different versions of the gun, all clunky and rough on the shooting hand. We carried the SSP version at our shop in Florida. Not a great seller. I never heard how the suits turned out. Probably settled out of court.

I tried one once, cant remember the caliber

trigger was my biggest complaint. The grip wasnt very comfortable for me either.
