Great points!
Besides what he already stated, some things stand out to me:
1. I hate that the magazine is indented into the grip. That's a pinch from hell waiting to happen.
2. Internal slide lock - never a good feature on a handgun. This is the same reason I don't like the Beretta Nano. I'm not 100% sure it has a slide lock at all though, and if it doesn't that's also a bad feature.
3. Has no sights. The slide is completely smooth on the top.
4. The light that's built-in does not look very effective or bright. The same could possibly be said about the laser but this is just a hunch.
5. The little clip on the side is a very bad tempter for a person to carry the gun without covering the trigger. Even though Taurus has a little trigger guard sleeve that they say to use over the trigger, the little clip is a bad idea.
6. Carrying a gun with a built-in clip inside your waist is very uncomfortable and provides for no real retention. Get a gun and get a holster to stay safe.
7. My highest suggestion in a 380 is the Kahr CW380. It's very small, has a great trigger, usable sights, and a slim profile without the curve.
8. If you plan to carry in your waistband, I would advise a single stack 9mm from a reputable manufacturer.

Thanks for the comments guy. Of course this turned into a 380 vs 9mm debate. I have a S&W 40 for fall/winter carry. I want a 380 for hot weather and pocket carry. A 380 at point blank range will do the job just fine.
