Analysis

This .380 Auto pistol offers a compact design well-suited for concealed carry, with a frame that balances durability and lightweight handling. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm in this class, providing consistent performance at typical self-defense ranges. Ergonomically, the grip fits comfortably in most hands, promoting a secure hold during use. Reliability is generally solid, with few reported malfunctions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a design that requires extra effort for disassembly and cleaning. 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 double-action mode, though some users might find it slightly heavy for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, even during extended range sessions.
