Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 15+1 capacity is paired with two magazines, but one is a 10-round magazine, so full-capacity use depends on which magazine is inserted.
- At 19.7 oz and 6.52" overall length, it is compact, but not the lightest or smallest option for concealed carry.
- The single-action design and manual safety may suit some shooters, but they add an extra step compared with simpler carry setups.
- The .380 ACP chambering offers a more manageable option, though it is not the same as stepping up to larger defensive calibers.
