Has anyone got some high round count serious practice time on one?

Reliability, shootability, durability?

Unlike a mid to full size service caliber pistol, the tiny pocket gunsare generally carry a lot shoot a little types. If you would believe what you read or hear, pocket guns are hard to shoot and should be practiced a lot, which is the opposite of what most people do. I have about 750 rounds through mine perfectly reliable ( including ammo that made other guns choke) and is actually pretty easy to shoot accurately

Can you compare it to a P3AT or LCP?

Shootability wise?

great pocket pistol.
Only gripe is I'd prefer higher visibility adjustable sights

I have one sitting here - it needs to go back to ruger.  I have given up on it.

I had P3AT, and two LCP's before it that ran great.

This thing has been a turd.  Been in my safe for probably 6 months.  I need to call them.

Can't get through a magazine without malfunctioning.  Its likely the extractor or ejector, it always leaves the case about halfway out, or sometimes all the way out but then sitting on top.  No visible wear or damage on the extractor, everything looks clean.

I have 300rds and 2 years of pocket carry with mine. Carrys like a dream but not very pleasant to shoot. Wish it was dovetailed for sights, it does shoot point of aim for me so that is nice.

That's what my LCP second gen would do with several types of ammo.

I have about 500 rounds through mine.
No failures.
The small dimensional differences in the grip and of course the trigger make it much easier to handle than the P38T, and I do have both.
I carry mine a lot.
I did put some High Vis nail polish on the back of the front sight.
Makes a much easier sight to pick up.
It's also been very accurate with Precision 1 .380.
