While the overall dimensions are not greatly reduced, and we would have loved to see the .380 acp pistol shrunken down a little, the gun's width reduction is obvious next to the existing subcompacts, and the weight is especially notable, coming in at 12 or 13 ounces compared to 22 ounces – a little over half the weight.
