Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm in this size category, delivering consistent performance at typical self-defense ranges of 7 to 15 yards. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in most hands, with a grip that aids in control during firing. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions well 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 newer users. Availability of replacement parts could also pose a challenge, as they are not as widely stocked as those for more common models. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single action, though the felt recoil is noticeable due to the lightweight frame, potentially affecting follow-up shots for some shooters.
