At one time I had a pretty decent collection, but have sold a few off in the last 3 years. I kept the better ones. This one works great in DA and SA. Yeah, they do have a reputation for being a little fragile, also that they are difficult to work on. Like anything else, if you beat it it won't last long. The last parts I bought, I got them from Dixie Gun Works. I also have one Lightning left.
