Analysis

This .380 Auto pistol offers a compact design well-suited for concealed carry, with a focus on practical performance. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm in this size category, delivering consistent results at typical self-defense ranges. The ergonomics are thoughtfully designed, providing a comfortable grip for most hand sizes, which aids in control during firing. Reliability is generally solid, with the pistol cycling smoothly through a variety of ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to tight tolerances and less intuitive disassembly. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge, as they are not as widely stocked as those for more common models. The trigger pull is on the heavier side, averaging around 8 pounds, which might affect precision for some shooters. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users with proper grip and stance.
