Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry with several notable attributes. Its lightweight polymer frame enhances portability, weighing just under a pound, while the ergonomic grip design ensures a comfortable hold for most hand sizes. Accuracy is commendable for a firearm in this category, delivering consistent performance at typical self-defense ranges. Reliability is generally strong, with minimal malfunctions reported under standard conditions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to snap may need acclimation. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the compact design, requiring patience for disassembly. Parts availability may pose challenges, as aftermarket support is limited. Additionally, shooters with larger hands might find the grip slightly cramped, potentially affecting control during extended sessions.
