Analysis

This .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its compact design enhances ease of carry, while the ergonomic grip provides a comfortable hold for most shooters, aiding in control during firing. Accuracy is commendable for its class, particularly at close to moderate ranges, making it suitable for self-defense scenarios. Reliability is a strong point, with consistent performance under varied conditions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the complexity of disassembly, which may deter less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts can also be a challenge, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which supports precision but may feel heavy for some. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most, though smaller-framed shooters might find it slightly sharp due to the lightweight frame.
