When I first encountered Minis back in the late 70s or early 80s they were just reliable truck guns that wouldn’t scare the chilluns or make the ladies faint. They were good for minute of coyote as far as you could see it in eastern OK. As long as the mag said Ruger on the bottom they’d feed and they had that vibe all our mud marine uncles spoke so fondly of. If you don’t ask it to be more than it is, I’d say it’s a fair knock off of its big brother and does it’s job well.
