Y'know, the more I look at this thing, the more impressed I am.
The grip safety depresses the firing pin block, not the trigger.
An internal hammer, and that safety are borrowed from the Colt 1903/8, one of the most popular pocket pistols of the 1900s.
The steel sights are very visible, can't say that about some other .380s out there.
The EZ slide is an obvious major plus, and the LCI lever (usually very un-popular) really isn't a bad idea here.
The grip texture's slightly toned down from the bigger 2.0 pistols, and the gun feels very comfortable in the hand.
The slide-lock lever's not just a flat stamping like the Glocks, it's contoured enough to be easy to thumb up or down, but doesn't stick out too far.
I like the one-piece trigger, no hinge, no Glock paddle.
Not too crazy about the mags, but I can see why they went that route.
The steel follower buttons can be rounded off a bit on their edges.
Easy take down.
Not the best for a tiny pocket pistol, but not designed or intended to be.
For a specific demographic (those who have a hard time running slides), it's great.
And I'm not even quite there yet, but it's a definite contender for when I can't handle a bigger M&P or the M&P Bodyguard.
If it's not for you, that's fine; but S&W's done a neat thing in this package.
