Jennings J-22. This one sits in the safe, waiting for a gun “buyback”. I refuse to sell it because someone might actually try to defend themselves with it.

I ended up with one of those as part of an estate buy. I took it to the range and the damn thing was 100 reliable. I gave it to my MIL who basically just wants a nightstand gun and has no intention of ever getting trained. It makes her sleep better 👍

Mine was quite reliable until the day it ‘slam-fired’ when I loaded it. That was the last time it had any live ammo it it, Not worth looking to fix it, not right to sell it.

Oh I understand. I hear that same story all the time. They will work until they do not, usually spectacular fails... Like I said, she'll never fire it and in a few years when she moves in with my BIL I'll get it back and I'll probably toss it into the intracoastal when I go over the bridge.

Same here. I bought one a loooong time ago just because it was so cheap. The damned thing never jammed up no matter what I fed it. It would even cycle cci snake shot, which was actually pretty fun to mess with.
The truth? I've never shot this pistol. Back around 2008 they were very hard to find and I guess I bought it for the novelty. Been living in the back of the safe ever since. Maybe one of these days I'll fix that.
A G&A writer Jan Libourel wrote about the Seacamp years ago and I wanted one badly. The cost was way too rich for a young Soldier and I forgot about it. Now I wonder if I can find one......

I don't know about now but in 2016 at the gun store / indoor range where I shoot they had one each .32 & .380. First I'd seen in a gun store since I bought mine although I wasn't actively looking in the meantime. The .32 was $565 and the .380 was $845. When I got home I looked on Gunchoker there were three .32s for $499 and two .380s for $759. Four and one half years have passed since then so Lord knows what the availability and prices are like.
