"it’s still cheaper than 380ACP which is it’s nearest equivalent"

That's surprising. You would think that the .380 popularity would drive down the production cost and subsequent price of the more boutique type of ammo. My .45 is costing me an arm & leg to go to the ranch. I'm looking for a more inexpensive alternative, but I don't really want to schlep all the way down to a 9mm.

"Power" wise I'd rate it as above the .380 but less than 9MM Luger, or roughly about the old .38 Spl round nose lead Police load.

Recoil on this piece is very manageable. I had no trouble with a quick follow up shot or two.

I do have to say that the sights are crude and would benefit from a drop of white paint on the front.

I've ordered a couple of thousand more rounds; 1K of FMJ and 1K of the Russian hollow points. I'm going to order two more of the pistols, too. One will go in Mrs. L's Camelback after a Durakoat treatment and the third will be used for parts should we ever need them.

Like I said, these things ain't Colts or Kimbers. But they ain't $900 a copy, either.
