Actually, speaking of Remington, the Remington RM380 is not a bad little pistol. The one I know about is extremely reliable and shoots anything. It is very easy to rack the slide. But it does have a long, relatively heavy trigger pull (no manual safety). It is accurate and shoots well at it’s intended ranges once you get used to it. The .380 is a pretty good cartridge in a short barrel if you use the Ruger ARX ammo or about any brand using the Hornady XTP hollow point bullet, IMHO.
My first carry piece was a Bersa .380 Arthritis got so bad I couldn’t rack it, had to trade for a revolver. I can load and clean myself. SO I have to stick with a Revolver not a automatic.
The Bersa was a sweet small butted gun with little kick back.
Arthritis and later added Peripheral Neuropathy especially in the dominant hand stops a lot of activities.
