Analysis

This compact .22 LR pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a lightweight, concealable firearm for personal defense or range practice. Its accuracy is commendable for its size, delivering consistent groupings at close to moderate ranges. The ergonomics are well-suited for smaller hands, with a grip design that promotes a secure hold. Reliability is generally strong, though it can be sensitive to ammunition quality, occasionally experiencing feeding issues with certain brands. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 6 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement. Felt recoil is minimal, making it approachable for novice shooters. However, maintenance can be somewhat tedious due to its compact design, requiring patience for thorough cleaning. Additionally, aftermarket parts and accessories may be harder to source compared to more common platforms, potentially limiting customization options for some users.

Not impressed with the handling at all. I love pocket guns but this gun just does not cut it. Very unreliable. Terrible trigger. Feels like trigger spring is broken with a lot of free space then hits a wall and bingo. Very dangerous if you decide to carry. Safety is ridiculous. Over priced. Will lock up gun if you are not careful. Why does this gun have a safety and the 380 not? Pro's nice size for a trainer on Pocket guns and kudo's to make a 22.cal for their 380.
