I won't be getting one any time soon.  In my personal opinion, I don't 
want to carry anything weaker than a 9mm.  The *only* advantage that I 
can see this cartridge providing is higher magazine capacity.  I've 
already solved that by upgrading my S&W Shield to a Shield Plus.

Honestly the only way I see this being beneficial is to a .380 Auto user 
who wants a little more punch, but doesn't want to go "all the way" to a 
9mm ... (which is a little strange).

Here a a couple of decent reviews:
