I love mine.  Recommend you clean it before firing.

I have had mine for a few weeks.
Nice gun.  Shoots well and fairly accurate.  You won't be disappointed.

PS:  The belt clip from the KelTek fits on them perfectly.  Makes them extremely easy to carry.

Update: So took it out and put 50 rounds through it.....................and this is my findings

1) this is for the size an excellent protection weapon

2) a tool required to to field strip

3) kicks like a mule ( see point #1)

4) I would not call the gun fun to shoot



fits very nice in the pocket and packs the best punch for it's size,   IMHFUO...................

Wife loves it ........gotta buy another

If you reload, you can take some of the mule out of it.

Well beside the fact that it feel's like it is gonna jump outta your two finger grip, (but it didn't) It is a big powerhouse in a small package, I am 5' 7" and weigh in about 180... my 6' 4" inch buddy did lose the weapon over his head, to be more prcise into the head...........it jump right the frick out of his big ol paw, then again that was only on the first shot, I don't think he expected as much out of it

All that said I think that anyone with smaller hands this is a good secondary if not primary weapon.

on a side point (since you did comment on it earlier)I did absolutley love the glock 17. I mean come on shoots smooth as silk no matter what kinda amon you throw at it (shot 3 different grades) and it was nothing to pop off all 17 rounds with out blinking an eye,
 

I tend to ramble on occassion, Did I answer your question Hack?

Yep, you did  good job.  Come to think of it, your comment about the LCP fitting better in a smaller hand was dead on.  I hadn't thought about that, but I agree.

I think mine went for $279, and since I'm a member of the Gun Shop's Indoor range, I got 5% off that.  I've shot factory Magtech 95 gr JHP through it (or it may have been 90 gr).

I've also reloaded Berry's plated bullets - 100 gr and 115 gr - and fired those through it.

At first, I thought the 115 gr bullet would be too much for the little .380, but two of my reloading manuals have recipes for a 115 gr bullet in the .380 case.  So I tried it.  It worked fine.

In fact, the 115 gr bullet has been my must accurate .380 reload to date - I'll continue to play around with various powders for it.
