Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry with several notable attributes. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm of this size, delivering consistent performance at typical self-defense ranges. The ergonomics are well-suited for smaller hands, with a grip design that facilitates a secure hold during operation. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions smoothly with a variety of ammunition types under standard conditions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 7.5 pounds in single-action mode, which aids in precise shot placement. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most shooters with proper technique. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the compact design, requiring extra care during disassembly. Parts availability may pose challenges for some users, potentially delaying repairs. Additionally, those with larger hands might find the grip less comfortable over extended sessions.
