I got it at K-Mart for $65. It takes standard Co2 cartridges and .177 bb's only.
The rail is a standard picatinny setup, and will take virtually any light or laser setup that will fit a compact barrel. Considering that it's Japanese made, it's a real steal of a deal! I would have expected to pay double for this.
A really neat feature is that it's blowback operated. The slide cocks the hammer after each shot, and locks to the rear on the last shot fired. It also has a push button drop free magazine as well.
And of course, a manual safety.
It is a DAO type trigger mechanism, so it takes a bit of practice to get smooth with the trigger, but it's a pretty good trigger. A lot better than the DA pull on a lot of service pistols, honestly.
I'm only "back" until someone unduly annoys me. Which I suspect will not take very long.

You caught me! The hard part is catching those littler fockers by hand so i can tape them to the wall!
My 5501 has caused so many fatalities that the mice in my firehouse have taken to the walls and ceilings to move around. I can hear the little devils scurrying around at night.
Damned law of unintended consequences.
