Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for its class, delivering consistent performance at typical engagement distances. The ergonomics are well-suited for smaller hands, with a grip design that promotes a secure hold during firing. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions smoothly with a variety of ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the complexity of disassembly, 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 5.5 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to kick might require additional practice to maintain control. Overall, it’s a practical choice with some logistical considerations.
