Analysis

This compact semi-automatic in .380 Auto offers a solid option for concealed carry or personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for its size, delivering consistent groupings at typical self-defense ranges of 7 to 15 yards. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in most hands, with a grip texture that ensures a secure hold under stress. Reliability is a key asset, as it cycles smoothly with a variety of ammunition, showing minimal malfunctions during extended testing. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a less intuitive disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single action, though the double-action pull feels heavier at approximately 10 pounds. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters with proper grip and stance.
