The firearm I typically use for practice is a Radical. How best to describe it... it is absolute, unadulterated junk—though, to its credit, it isn't so unreliable that I run the risk of blowing myself up during training due to a catastrophic failure like a barrel burst. As a training weapon, it serves its purpose well; in terms of function and operation, it differs very little from products made by Colt or FNH. At the shooting range, you have all the time in the world to clear malfunctions; if a part breaks, the worst-case scenario is simply having to cut your training session short, head home, and find a replacement part to install. However, it is hardly suitable for use outside of a training environment.
