Analysis

This .380 Auto pistol offers a compelling option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at typical defensive ranges of 7 to 15 yards. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip for a variety of hand sizes, enhancing control during shooting. Reliability is a strong point, with the firearm cycling smoothly through various types of ammunition without frequent malfunctions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single-action mode, offering a predictable break. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to kick may find follow-up shots slightly slower. Overall, it’s a solid choice with minor drawbacks to consider.
