"Hey man..., your gun sure is ugly!"
"Yea, she's ugly, but she sure can COOK!" ;)
I happen to own one of those carbines in 9mm. I do call it my "Ugly Stick" but it shoots. Everytime. Anytime. Accurate enough to plink steel plates @ 100 yards. For the $165 or so I paid OTD I gladly put up with the ugly!
