Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a blend of practicality and performance for concealed carry or personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm of this size, delivering consistent groupings at typical self-defense ranges of 7 to 15 yards. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in most hands, with a grip that supports a secure hold during firing. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles smoothly with a variety of ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a less intuitive disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts could also pose a challenge in some regions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single-action mode, though it feels slightly heavier in double-action. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, but those sensitive to kick might notice it during extended sessions.
