Analysis

This .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Among its primary strengths are its ergonomic design, which provides a comfortable grip for a wide range of hand sizes, and its consistent accuracy at typical self-defense ranges. Reliability is another key asset, with the firearm performing well under varied conditions and with different ammunition types. The trigger pull is smooth, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids in maintaining control during rapid fire. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, making it manageable for most shooters, even during extended sessions. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a design that requires extra attention to detail during disassembly. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some users. Additionally, shooters with larger hands might find the compact frame slightly restrictive over prolonged use.

A GREAT handgun, for what it is.
By Verbs on 16 Oct 2024
I bought one for my wife (we're older, arthritic, and getting naturally weaker) and it was too heavy, with the 15 round mags. I co-op'd it, and have it in my EDC rotation. Feels great in the hand, is very accurate, and is almost as fun to shoot as watching democrats LOSE ELECTIONS. With 15 rounds, I don't worry too much about the weaker .380 cartridge. A GREAT handgun.
