Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid choice for concealed carry, with several notable attributes. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm of this size, delivering consistent performance at close to moderate ranges. The ergonomic design facilitates a comfortable grip, even during extended sessions, which aids in control and reduces fatigue. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions well under varied conditions with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the intricacies of its compact frame, requiring patience and attention. Availability of replacement parts may pose a challenge, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which suits most shooters, though some may find it slightly heavy for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for experienced users but possibly sharp for newer shooters.
