Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry or personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for its size, delivering consistent performance at typical self-defense ranges. The ergonomics are well-designed, with a grip that fits comfortably in most hands, aiding in control during firing. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions smoothly with a variety of ammunition under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts could also pose a challenge, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in double-action mode, providing a predictable break. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to kick might find repeated firing less comfortable. Overall, it’s a practical choice with some trade-offs.

PMK-380

Really like this pistol. The only thing lacking is an external slide stop. The slide can be locked back without an empty magazine by holding the slide back, inserting the little finger into the ejection port and pushing the internal slide lock up. Be careful that it is actually locked back before letting go of the slide.
