Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a blend of practical features for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm of this size, delivering consistent performance at close to medium ranges. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, even for shooters with smaller hands, aiding in control during firing. Reliability is a strong point, with the pistol cycling smoothly through various ammunition types under typical conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring meticulous attention to keep it in optimal shape. Parts availability may pose a challenge, as sourcing replacements or upgrades isn’t always straightforward. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which suits most users, though some may find it slightly heavy for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable with proper grip, but it can feel sharp during extended sessions.
