Got a chance to shoot it yesterday. Went through a full box of ammo and didn't have any problems. Shot really accurate at 25ft which is just about as far as you'd be from your target with this gun. I've got long fingers so it was a bit awkward but it was designed to be a concealed weapon; not to be carried on your hip. Overall I give it a 8.5/10

I'd give it a 7/10 - based almost solely on concealment capability - perhaps much better with the laser - the sights do really suck as said before.

All the laser does is show you how much you shake when trying to shoot a nice group down range. lol But will be real nice when you have to show John Q Criminal where your about to deposit some lead.

Nice handgun! I had one w/out the laser for a while, but I'm always wheelin and dealin the guns.

I will tell you this: for the first 100-200 rounds the trigger will feel terrible. After 300, maybe more than 300, but somewhere around there, the trigger will lighten up and feel much smoother. Didn't want you to get stressed about that double action pull right outta the box - it just needs a little break in period.

That gun is a little power house. Police friend of mine uses this firearm as a backup gun. Great little gun. First 380 I have shot, had way more punch then I thought it would.

I kept mine in the center console but kept losing it amongst all the junk due to its size, I prefer the Bersa, Walther or even the HK 9mm in the console. I think the LC9 is next.

I also don't like the capacity but its fits well in the bottom of your shorts/pocket, a must have pea shooter!
