I'm new to the site and just stumbled across this thread.
I've had this Hardballer since 1987. I bought it used off of a buddy that was getting out and needed cash to move for $150. He had a lot of after market gun smithing done to it. I know that these pistols have a checkered history but this has been 100% reliable for me and the sights are absolutely dead on. Contrary to the AMT "Hardballer" nickname this one has reliably eaten absolutely everything I have fed it. I've shot several, several, thousands of rounds through this in the past 30 years and have loved every minute of it.

Nothing wrong with it if it's reliable and it works for ya...
