I was considering a micro .380 for certain niche use(when I'm in tropical climates) and I've looked over countless videos, reviews and comments on just about every .380 out there and pretty much every one has enough negative feedback on them to make me leery. None demonstrate the consistent documented reliability I want to see. The only exception MIGHT be the current production Glock 42 since it seems as if they have most of the problems worked out. However, the G42 is relatively large for a .380, so it kind of defeats the purpose for me since it doesn't offer any size and weight advantage over an s&w airweight. Plus, I'm kind of on the fence regarding .380 being adequate for defensive purposes. The smallest autoloader I currently own is the G26 and it has proven reliable although I rarely carry it since I favor the snubby.
