Pros ??
Reliable appearance — one range reported 10,000+ trouble-free rounds; most reviewers call it highly reliable after break-in
Trigger — praised for its smooth, consistent pull with audible reset
Slide lock functionality — rare among micro .380s, it locks back on empty
Cons ??
Sharp slide edges — may pinch/thumb-bite during recoil
Tiny iron sights — embedded, non-adjustable; may benefit from paint or laser
Recoil and grip — stout recoil for size; two-finger grip unless mag extensions are used
Initial break-in and parts variability — some early units reported failures-to-feed or lock-backs per reviews
?? Performance & Range Results
Accuracy:
~1.5–1.75 in groups at 7 yds from rest — respectable for its size
Reviewers consistently report reliable center-mass hits at typical defensive distances
Reliability:
Many users report flawless operation after break-in (over 300–10,000+ rounds)
Some others experienced feed and extraction issues; Taurus customer service was responsive
?? Who It’s For
Ideal for: Experienced pocket-carry users looking for the smallest possible carry gun in .380 ACP — reliable, concealable, and smooth-triggered.
Not recommended for: Beginners uncomfortable with strong recoil, two-finger grip, or those who prefer manual safety and larger sight picture.
