Weighing 25 ounces, it's on the heavier side for its caliber. While Patton noted, 'Do you need a comp to tame the recoil of a 380? Absolutely not. But do I want one? Yes, absolutely,' he highlighted its premium $1,049 MSRP as one of the priciest .380s available, emphasizing the importance of proper bullet selection for performance.

Patton praised the Elite Commander, saying, 'I loved the compact version of the EDCX9. I think it's fantastic. So, I'm assuming this new one will be just as good.' Shotguns, Lever Actions, ARs, and More Savage refreshed its 212/220 bolt-action slug guns in 12- or 20-gauge with 22-inch rifled barrels, 2-round magazines, and new AccuFit V2 stocks (Harvester gray or Woodland camo).
