Analysis

This early 20th-century semi-automatic pistol in .380 Auto demonstrates notable precision for its era, with a design that prioritizes accurate shot placement at moderate ranges. The ergonomic grip fits comfortably in most hands, aiding control during firing. Reliability is generally consistent under proper conditions, though it demands regular maintenance to prevent malfunctions due to its intricate internal components. A significant drawback is the scarcity of replacement parts, which can pose challenges for repairs. Additionally, the trigger pull is somewhat heavy by modern standards, potentially affecting ease of use for newer shooters. Felt recoil is mild, making it manageable for most users, though it may still feel sharp to those unaccustomed to smaller calibers in vintage designs. While this firearm holds historical value and functional appeal, its upkeep and compatibility with contemporary expectations may limit its practicality for some enthusiasts.
