Right

What features does this gun have that appealed to you?

Very small, micro-compact, light weight and can be hidden literally anywhere and even carried in a very small clutch. .380 is a nice size caliber to have for self defense in the smallest possible package.

Tell us about shooting this gun:

This gun is the ultimate noisey cricket. Recoil is a lot due to size of caliber in such a small handgun.

How does it fit your hand, how do you like the sights, how difficult is it to rack the slide, how would you describe the trigger pull, and how would you describe the recoil?

Fit my hand wonderfully, feels great, weight is perfect, sights are perfect. It needs nothing added, its ready to go upon purchase, just need a tiny holster to put it in. Trigger pull is good for me. Slide is easy to rack.

How reliable is it?

Very reliable on the first shot, recoil takes it completely off target so if you have time to get it realigned, you can be accurate but if your in a hurry or timed, you might not get it back on target before firing repeated shots.

Any problems with any type of ammunition?

All ammunition works great in it.

Does this gun have any specific ammunition requirements? If so, please explain:

No.

What do you dislike about shooting this gun, if anything?

Only thing I didn’t like was the recoil.

Was it easy to take down and clean?

It is a mini Glock literally. It looks exactly like a Glock and take down and put together is the same, done quickly and easily. Very same parts and pieces.

Would you recommend this gun?

Yes.

For someone considering this gun, what would you tell them?

Practice practice practice to overcome the recoil of such a tiny gun.

Anything else you would like to share about the gun?

I love it. Very easy again to conceal anywhere on your body or in your belongings.
