looks fairly beat up. at least the one in the picture. and 30 bucks for hand pick seems realy high to me... but then again at that price it might be worth the gamble... i dont know....

Yeah, it looks like aluminum does not stand ordinary rigors very well. And those are the representative pictures. Makes me think they brought out their BEST looking one!

Looks like a paperweight to me. That's one ragged looking pistol. Personally, I'd steer clear of an aluminum framed weapon unless I needed a light-weight club.

the ones they had a year or two were pretty bad, and these are supposed to be worse.

I've usually found AIM to show whatcha get, when it comes to the photos of guns they're selling (Unlike what SOG does... Remember the Garands they had?)
Anyway, usually they show the typical condition of guns in the ads.. You might get one like that, or you might get a better one, but they tend to cover their butts pretty well and chances are you won't get one even worse than that..

I give a kudos to AIM. I've dealt with them for a couple years, in both online and in person sales, and I've come to the feeling that they're the first place I'll shop. Shipping is reasonable, and if there's an issue they're on the phone right away to solve any questions that come up.

They also follow the rules to the letter to cover both thier and your butts.

I looked at that handgun and it's kinda ugly, but I'm pretty sure if you bought one you wouldn't be screaming that they sold you one that was in worse condition.
