I'm in love with it, cheap and reliable, I ran 400+ rounds through it before getting a malfunction, and it was a stovepipe on the last round of a overfilled magazine that didn't reoccur before or since in the same configuration, so I think that was just an underpowered cart. Some people complain it's too snappy on the recoil, but I guess it's hard for me to tell. Only problem I've had aside from that was my decocker is a little gritty, so I'm gonna disassemble it completely today and make sure it's all clean and lubed and if I still have issues I'll replace the part. It has some wear from what looks like the firing pin. The base model is officially a 7+1 I believe, but I manage to get an extra rider into the magazines that I was told were stock with no issues. If capacity is lacking I've heard the Thunder .380 Plus is barely any bigger and can be loaded to 15+1. I've bought one and am waiting for it to come in and be ready for pickup. then I'll assess which one I like more. The only downside I've found with the Plus model that the magazines for it are "hard to find" but I managed to find 2 for 95 USD or 1 for 50 on gunbrokers.
edit: I have noticed it's a little harder to find luxury accessories. You won't find a teardown schematic cleaning mat easily, Kydex holsters are harder to find that explicitly support it, etc. None of that really matters to me, though.
edit2: I was just a little hasty cleaning it last time, decocker is fine after a quick spot clean and a little love
Woah, thanks for the whole write up! Sounds pretty nice all around! Especially since you liked it enough to buy the big sibling with a bigger capacity! ๐
Stay safe out there and happy holidays! ๐ฅณ
