Its a itty bitty .380. Buddy wanted me to shoot it and break it in. Gave me 300 rounds of gun show ammo he got and an extra Pro Mag magazine.

I just got around to shooting it today. I was shooting my 45/70 Handi Rifle, and inbetween letting my shoulder rest (shot 60 rounds today!) I shot it.

First of all, I am a revolver guy. I like my 5 or 6 for sure!
Second, I don't like plastic guns. And this sucker is plastic. I put it higher than Kel Tec, but lower than LCR in quality.

Well, after a 300 rounds, I got to say its a decent pocket pistol. No jams or FTF or FTE. It shot POA and groups were palm size at 21 feet. Not bad really, the control are flush and the trigger is usable.

Sights are more like bumps and it is looser than my jr prom date. It needs a bit more of something on the grip, even with my less than huge hands. It is very light and a good grip is needed to keep it with you. Hope the threat is neutralized with the first magazine, because a magazine swap isn't NASCAR pit crew time. But for $209, OTD price my buddy paid for it, its not bad.
