They've had quality issues in the past. I don't know if it's gotten any better. I used to own a little Taurus .38 revolver, but I got rid of it years ago. I never had any problems with that, but a pistol is a different animal.
Obviously it's better than nothing, but if you're looking for an economical carry gun, you can probably get a little Ruger for around $400. Buds has a Smith & Wesson M&P 9c, which up until recently I regularly used as one of my daily carry guns, for around $450. And there are all sorts of good options, like Glocks and Sigs, starting at just under $500.
I realize that my gun snob friends have eaten my brain to a certain extent, but I wouldn't trust my life to something that's on sale for $200.
