The Remington RM380 is made for concealed carry. The small pistol tucks neatly into a waistband holster, a purse, or even a pocket. While I found it to be accurate, the combination of its short barrel (just under three inches) and the medium power of the .380 ACP round makes this a firearm for up-close use—10 yards or less would be my preferred range.

And then I shot the RM380—several hundred times in fact—over the next two days at the Gunsite training facility in Paulden, Arizona, in March 2015 at Remington’s early launch of this new pistol. I pretty much drilled everything I aimed to hit. Admittedly, I was shooting at close range, 10 yards and under for most of the shots, and some within just 3 yards.

A couple of years ago, I made a tremendous mistake as an editor. I chose to run the then-new Remington R51 on the cover based on a review of a pre-production sample by a trusted writer. My thinking was: “Remington has been around for 200 years, and the company makes iconic rifles and shotguns that are awesome. Therefore, this new handgun—based on an 80-year-old design—must be good. Besides, Remington assured us that the production guns will be the same as the pre-production test model.” I was wrong. The actual initial production run of the R51 was disastrous.
