Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a practical choice for concealed carry with its lightweight design and manageable size, fitting comfortably in hand for most users. Its accuracy proves dependable at close to moderate ranges, suitable for self-defense scenarios, while the ergonomics cater well to shooters with smaller hands due to the slim grip profile. Reliability is generally consistent with quality ammunition, though occasional feeding issues have been noted with certain hollow-point rounds. The trigger pull is on the heavier side, averaging around 8-10 pounds, which may require acclimation for some users. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, providing a balance between control and feedback. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to tight tolerances, and sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges. Overall, it’s a functional option for personal protection, though not without minor limitations for long-term use.
