Analysis

This .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry with its compact design and ergonomic grip, which fits comfortably in most hands, aiding in control during use. Accuracy is commendable for a firearm of this size, performing well at typical self-defense ranges. Reliability is a strong point, with consistent feeding and ejection during extended testing, even with varied ammunition types. The trigger pull is smooth, averaging around 6 pounds, providing a predictable break that enhances shot placement. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most shooters with proper grip technique. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the compact frame, requiring patience for thorough cleaning. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges, as availability isn’t always guaranteed. This firearm suits those prioritizing concealability, though it may not be ideal for users needing frequent disassembly or customization.
