Many of us predicted more mini-.380 ACP guns at SHOT 2010, and here's the first of the batch:

It doesn't say if it's blowback or locked-breech. It better not be blowback...
I think of the new crop, only the Desert Eagle .380 has been blowback. It's an idea whose time is over (at least so far as .380).
EDIT: Length is good, as short as all the other new .380s. However, it's a good half-inch taller than the competitors, and no idea how thinness compares. Not that being the micro-est was necessarily S&W's goal, but still. Plus I'm not thrilled with the manual safety; I prefer pocket guns to be "point and click" interface.
