Fits well in my hand
Trigger is long but smooth (double-action only)
Good amount of muzzle-flash (short barrel, no choice)
Plastic finish is better than on P32 (no sharp edges or mold lines)
Steel guide rod (P32 is plastic)
Slide "racks" easier than on P32 (wife even likes it)
Slide does not lock open on last shot (has a slide lock, but rather it lock open too)
Sights are hard to pick-up (black on black with more black)
Easy to shoot, had one feed problem (two rounds tried to feed together, cleared the trouble and could not duplicate)

Loaded, the gun is only a tad bit heavier than the P32, but not by much (six rounds of .380 versus seven rounds of .32)

I picked one up and shot it yesterday as well. It had been cleaned and oiled and I experienced no failures with Remington UMC or the Black Hills JHPs I ran through it. It was much easier to shoot than I expected and was surprisingly accurate out to the 15 yards I tried it at. I came home and painted the front sight white with white nail polish to alleviated the sight problem you mentioned. I haven't shot it since painting the sight, but it is much easier to acquire a sight picture than before. Overall I'm pretty excited about it as it's so small, light, and thin, it pretty much removes any excuse for why one can't comfortably carry or conceal it.

Congratulations! I have had mine for awhile now and it is great! I just went to the range yesterday and ran 100 rounds through it with no problems. I painted the front sight with some red nail polish and it help...then, I ordered the Crimson Trace laser sight (LG-431) and it is very nice, the perfect add on. Very quick on target and very accurate at a 7 yards. A perfect little pocket pistol. I carry it in my pocket from the time I get up until I go to bed. I really like it. :thumbs2:
