Analysis

This .380 Auto pistol offers a compelling option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for its class, delivering consistent groupings at typical self-defense ranges. The ergonomics are well-suited for a variety of hand sizes, with a grip that provides a secure hold during firing. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles smoothly with a range of ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a design that requires more effort for disassembly and cleaning compared to similar models. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some users. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement. Felt recoil is mild, making it manageable for shooters of varying experience levels, though extended sessions may reveal minor discomfort for those sensitive to smaller frames.
