About the Gun

Pro versions have now been released for nearly all of the 'Standard' Millennium models. Some features of the Pro line include optional increased magazine capacities, larger and easier to operate controls, a double action (DA/SA) trigger mechanism on some models with reduced trigger travel and an improved smoother and lighter trigger pull, an enhanced frame, and an improved more ergonomic grip design.

Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry with several notable attributes. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm in this size category, delivering consistent performance at typical self-defense ranges. The ergonomic design facilitates a comfortable grip, even during extended range sessions, which enhances user control. Reliability is generally strong, with the pistol functioning well under varied conditions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the complexity of disassembly, which may frustrate less experienced users. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp but on the heavier side, which might affect precision for some shooters. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most, though smaller-handed individuals may find it slightly sharp during rapid fire. Overall, it’s a practical choice with some considerations for upkeep.
