Other features include a lowered and flared ejection port, beveled magazine well and steel sights. Extended 7-round magazine is standard on some models and optional on others.

About the Cartridge

Designed by John Browning and introduced by Fabrique Nationale of Belgium, this cartridge has achieved world-wide acceptance and has even been adopted as the standard pistol cartridge by several governments. One reason for the round's success is that it is the largest practical cartridge that can be easily adapted to small automatic pocket pistols. Ballistics fall far short of even the 9mm Luger, but still prove adequate for most self-defense situations. The round has established quite a niche position in this role, often being chosen over more traditional small calibers such as the .25 and .32 Autos.

Short trigger pull. Short reset. Safety difficult
By rrbearcat on 26 Dec 2020
Relative to other 380s of similar size, i found it average to aim. Comfortable in my medium size hand. Recoil was very manageable. Sights need upgraded with something brighter for a 2nd shot rapid burst. Short trigger pull and really short reset were noticeable compared to other guns and are a major plus. The safety is easy to disengage( to fire) with the thumb one handed without adjusting the grip, but it is very difficult to engage the safety without adjusting the grip. The angle of the my thumb pushing the safety on was difficult and it required more force than disengaging it. It is the standard frame mount operation of up for safe and down for fire.
