Tell us about shooting this gun.

A dream to shoot. I am a small woman and have a small hand. The site is spot on.

How would you describe the recoil, is it manageable?

minimal recoil. I think recoil opinions are based on how many guns you have shot and the muscle strength in your hand.

How does it fit your hand, are the controls of this gun easy to use? (Safeties,slide pull, magazine release, trigger pull, etc.)

Initially, I thought the slide was hard but now that I have been shooting for a few years, it is no problem.

Do you like the sights on this gun?

Yes! Spot on.

How reliable is it?

Very.

Any problems with any type of ammunition?

None noted. Never had a jam.

Was it easy to take down and clean?

Super easy to take down and put back together

Is there anything you dislike about shooting this gun?

No

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

I would say that some people may think a 380 is not enough bullet to conceal and carry but I feel if it is the gun you are comfortable with it and carry it, that is what counts. Especially with a few hallow points in the magazine

Would you recommend this gun? If no, do you have a preferred gun?

Yes
