Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for its class, delivering consistent performance at typical self-defense ranges of 7 to 15 yards. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip for most hand sizes, enhancing control during firing. Reliability is a strong point, with the firearm functioning well across various ammunition types during extended testing. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the tight tolerances of its components, requiring more effort for cleaning and reassembly. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge, as they are not as widely stocked as those for more common models. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single-action, which aids precision. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to snap may need acclimation.
