By The Numbers

Accuracy
It's a short barrel but does its job at defensive distances.
Reliability
Feed it nice factory brass ammo with a 200 round break-in and you'll be fine.
Customization
Besides extended mags there's not much aftermarket support yet.
Ergonomics
Super slim and tiny but might be jumpy if you don't have a good grip.

FINAL VERDICT

"But after learning its quirks I love it for its sole purpose…to be the ultimate combination of weight, size, and capacity for a .380 concealed carry gun. Be aware you'll likely need some sort of break-in based on our experience. And to only feed it factory brass ammunition unless you want to train for malfunctions. Otherwise it has nice sights and a snappy shooting experience that make it still very effective for defensive distances. Based on its reliability, size, and capacity I carry it when I dress down with athletic wear that doesn't support a gun belt." - Eric Hung
