Analysis

This early 20th-century semi-automatic pistol in .380 Auto offers a glimpse into innovative design for its era. Its accuracy is commendable for a compact firearm, delivering consistent performance at short to medium ranges. The ergonomics are surprisingly intuitive, with a grip that fits well in most hands, aiding in control during firing. Reliability, however, can be inconsistent, particularly with modern ammunition, as the design was tailored to older manufacturing standards. Maintenance presents challenges, as specialized care is often required due to the age and uniqueness of the mechanism. Parts availability is a significant concern, with replacements being scarce and costly. The trigger pull is notably heavy, which may deter some shooters seeking a lighter action. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most users but potentially sharp for those unaccustomed to smaller frames. Overall, it’s a historical piece with practical limitations for regular use.
