Any opinions on these? Compared to Ruger 380, others?

From what I have read on them and wih the one I shot they are still working some bugs out. That said the one I shot handled quite nice, felt good in the hand, contollable and concealable. As far as the bugs, my buddy has had great customer service and after he got the gun back it has been shooting very reliably.

I have a buddy that bought one and it jammed every shot. We tried everything. Different ammo, different magazines, cleaned the gun, changed his grip, etc. nothing worked. The only way it would fire more than one shot at a time was to stand straight at the target and stick your butt WAAAY out. I have video but I can't get it to work right. I wish I could cause it's hilarious!

Seems a lot of people are having FTF and FTE problems

Personally I'd go with a 9mm over a .380 and stay with a established major manufacturer.

If you have to have a .380 I suggest the new Sig or Ruger
