I like the way this model looks and it seems like a pretty compact piece. Anyone here own one?

I owned one when I was a dealer, never shot it as it was for resale. It was a solid looking weapon, fit and finish seemed good. Not easy to find magaiznes for them. I had about $175 bucks in it, sold it for $225.
I've never owned one but remember that they were very popular with some guys I knew about 20 or so years ago.
Seems like every one (used) that I have seen for sale had the frame ruined by someone, who didn't know what he was doing, trying to reshape the feed ramp. Otherwise I would have probably owned one by now.
Haven't they been out of production for a long time?
Edit: Just answered that for myself, made from 1975 to 1990.
