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 ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, even during extended sessions, which enhances control for a wide range of hand sizes. Reliability is another strong point, as it functions well with various ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the intricacies of its compact frame, requiring more effort for thorough cleaning. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some owners. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids in precision. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to kick might find it slightly sharp during rapid fire. Overall, it’s a practical choice with a few considerations.
