What features does this gun have that appealed to you?
I was originally attracted to this gun because of the beautiful rainbow titanium slide that was available but I bought it because for the functionality.
This is the easiest racking gun you’ll ever shoot. I don’t have grip strength issues, but I know women who do have issues due to arthritis and they can rack this gun. Smooth as butter.
Tell us about shooting this gun.
I’m not an experienced shooter and I don’t get a huge amount of range time, but even I am able to shoot a 6 inch group from 15 to 20 feet.
How would you describe the recoil, is it manageable?
Yes, the recoil is manageable. About what you can expect from such a small gun.
How does it fit your hand, are the controls of this gun easy to use? (Safeties,slide pull, magazine release, trigger pull, etc.)
The geometry of the gun, which is 1911-like, fits my hand extremely well. Everything is easy to reach for my medium-sized hands.
Do you like the sights on this gun?
Love them. An improvement of 1000% over my previous EDC, a Ruger LCP.
How reliable is it?
I’ve never had a misfire.
Any problems with any type of ammunition?
I’ve never had any problems shooting various types of ammunition.
Was it easy to take down and clean?
Yes.
Is there anything you dislike about shooting this gun?
No.
For someone considering this gun, what would you tell them?
Buy it, especially if they thought that grip strength issues limited them to using a revolver.
Would you recommend this gun? If no, do you have a preferred gun?
I would and I have recommended this gun.
Just got one….PERFECT for my handbag and to wear concealed. Small but mighty. Pretty powerful 380….really love it!
