Most people that have them seem to like them. However, my first time to the range with mine was a disappointment.
Things I like about it:
Small--duh.
Shoots brass a good 15-20 feet in the air. Not sure why I enjoy watching the brass fall from way up, but I do.
More accurate than I expected.
Pleasant to shoot for such a small and light .380
Things I don't like:
Not very reliable so far. Put 80 rounds or so of standard velocity ball ammo through it and had 4 or 5 failure to feed's. This required magazine removal to clear the stoppage. Highly annoying.
The need to hold in the magazine release button in order to install a mag. That's just a shitty design in my book.
Trigger travel is too long.
Slide doesn't lock back after the last shot. Minor problem and I can understand it since the slide release would need to stick out more than it does to be useful. Ruger wanted everything on the side to be flush.
Anyway, I will shoot it more and hopefully it will become as reliable as my other Rugers.
