Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for its size, delivering consistent performance at close to moderate ranges. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in most hands, with a grip that aids in control during firing. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions well with a variety of ammunition types under typical conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the complexity of disassembly, which may frustrate less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts can also be an issue, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5-6 pounds in double-action mode, though some may find it a bit heavy for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most shooters with proper technique, though smaller-framed individuals might notice it more during extended sessions.
