Analysis

This .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry or personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable, with consistent performance at typical defensive ranges, making it a reliable choice for shooters prioritizing precision. The ergonomics are well-designed, providing a comfortable grip for most hand sizes, which aids in control during firing. Reliability is another strength, as it cycles smoothly with a variety of ammunition under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single action, though some may find the double-action pull heavier than preferred. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most shooters with proper technique, ensuring it remains accessible for regular use.

Nice little pistol. Somewhat picky with hollow points but has a great weight and feel to it.
