Analysis

This .380 Auto caliber pistol offers a compact design well-suited for concealed carry or backup use. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm of this size, delivering consistent performance at typical defensive ranges. The ergonomics are thoughtfully executed, with a grip that accommodates most hand sizes comfortably, aiding in control during firing. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions smoothly with a variety of ammunition under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the intricate disassembly process, which may deter less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts could also pose a challenge, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single-action mode, providing a predictable break. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most shooters with proper grip, though follow-up shots may require slight adjustment.
