Read about it on another forum...Is it true that IOF is launching .380 cal Pistol for civilians? Read that it is going to be similar to IOF 9mm model, the only difference will be that it will be 2 1/2 inch smaller than the 9mm pistol.
Anyone can verify the news or is it just a speculation? Also, any idea about expected launch date, price, design, availability of ammo etc?

Absolutely false information/ rumour mongering
Please remember you live in a country where the cops/ license issuing authorities consider .380 rimless to be .38 rimmed and 9mm short to be 9mm

The other site even mentions a .22 in the pipeline! I wonder which designs would IOF copy, if they were to introduce a .380 and .22 pistol.

No, they do not follow the 'if it ain't broken then don't fix it" principle.... What they follow is "Don't fix it, never fix it... event if it is broken and don't listen to complains".
