The .380 ACP caliber, DA/SA action firearm was famous for its high capacity – carrying 13 rounds in its magazine and one in the chamber, which was considered impressive for a compact pistol during that time. The blued finish refers to the traditional blueing treatment on firearms meant to provide some protection against rust and give the weapon its black-blue appearance.
