To those of you that own them...I really want one in a bad way, but I have been reading a few gun oriented discussion boards and have seen alot of posts about malfunctions. Whats the skinny? Are these weapons unreliable? Is this strictly a range toy, or would you rely upon it for self-defense?

Thanks.

I like mine a lot. I have only put about 500 rounds through it so far but I have not had a single malfunction. I view mine as a range toy. For home defense I prefer my .45 but I wouldn't be worried about the PLR not being reliable for me.

Hundreds of rounds through mine without a problem.  I have used the little factory mag, old aluminum follower colt mags, and new green follower 30 rounders.  Another guy at the range I go to has a few thousand through his with no malfunctions of any kind.
Mine is accurate enough to shoot groundhogs out to 100yds or so, but I have other stuff that is much more suitable for home defense.
