Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry or backup use, with several notable attributes. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm of this size, delivering consistent performance at close to moderate ranges. The ergonomics are well-suited for smaller hands, with a grip that facilitates a secure hold despite the diminutive frame. Reliability is generally strong, functioning smoothly with a variety of ammunition during extended testing. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single-action mode, which aids precision. Felt recoil is manageable, though slightly snappy due to the lightweight design, potentially noticeable for newer shooters. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, requiring attention to detail during disassembly. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges, as availability is limited in some regions. Overall, it’s a practical choice with a few considerations for long-term ownership.
