i picked one of those up the last day of january when vance's had them on sale for $299. you wont regret it, unless you have a hard time finding ammo. otherwise it shoots great. the only downside anyone's noticed with it thus far is there's a rough edge on the slide by the end of the barrel that wears the bluing on the barrel for the first 50 or so rounds so the barrel will get a bit scuffed up, but normal use wears the ridge down and it should be no problem. I've got 300 rounds through mine so far and I love it. really easy to shoot well, no recoil, no muzzle flash, good firearm. if you're using it for ccw, buffalo bore makes some quality higher powered .380 ammo that has some good stats. and i concur, it feels right in your hands. the grip is excellent. glad to see these are catching on. a lot of the "pre-reviews" ppl thought they wouldnt sell at all. maybe if enough ppl buy them they'll start making .380 ammo... :-(
