Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a practical option for concealed carry with several notable attributes. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm of this size, delivering consistent performance at typical defensive ranges. The ergonomic design fits well in smaller hands, with a grip that promotes a secure hold during firing. Reliability is generally solid, functioning smoothly with a variety of ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the tight tolerances of its compact frame, requiring extra care during disassembly and cleaning. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some users. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids in precision but may feel stiff for newer shooters. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable with proper grip, though it can be noticeable during extended range sessions.
