I haven't shot one, but I've handled one-- $369 at the LGS.
It's perfect for its intended audience-- those with limited hand strength. No harder to rack the slide than a .22, easy loading magazines, Big dot great sights, and a grip safety so no fumbling with the (optional) thumb safety. It's probably easier to rack than my .22 Buckmark.
Only a .380, but for this market, that's probably all they can effectively handle anyway. And with a 3.6" barrel, .380 is fast enough to maybe get some expansion along with the penetration.
It's nice to see the manufacturers finally thinking through new product ideas. Anyway, if you've got a relative with limited hand strength, this is a supremely viable option. It's going to be much easier to handle than even a steel .38 snubbie, and will hold eight plus one shots.
I was eyeing a Ruger SP101 6-shot .327 Mag revolver for this purpose, but this beats it hands down. Half the price, too. In stores now.
