This review of the Kel-Tec PR 380 highlights its fixed magazine and stripper clip feeding system, contrasting it with traditional detachable magazine handguns. The reviewer demonstrates significant challenges with both loading and clearing malfunctions, particularly double feeds, due to the fixed magazine design. While acknowledging the PR 380's compact size and potential for concealed carry, the review concludes that existing alternatives like the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380 offer superior functionality and ease of use, especially in handling malfunctions.
This review of the Kel-Tec PR-380 highlights its status as the smallest and lightest 11-round .380 ACP pistol available, even surpassing the Ruger LCP Max. The unique internal, double-stack, double-feed magazine, loaded via stripper clips or by hand, allows for its compact size. While the loading method is unconventional, the reviewer notes its potential benefits for deep concealment and backup roles, despite a learning curve and potential for user-induced malfunctions.
