Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for a firearm in this size category, delivering consistent performance at typical self-defense ranges. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in most hands, with a grip that aids in control during rapid fire. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions well with a variety of ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the complexity of disassembly, which may frustrate less experienced users. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can be a challenge, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in double-action mode, though some may find it a bit heavy for prolonged use. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, but those sensitive to kick might notice it during extended sessions.
