I think Dinadan posted this chart a year or so back, but it only went to 2017. I've updated it to 2020, the newest available. The 2020 mini number is at the bottom.

That makes sense...nothing wrong with the autos, but they face lots of competition...the mini-revolvers stand alone...

Notice the last 5 years straight, they made more 32s than 380s. That validates my choice! My two are in the 2018 and 2019 totals, serials are 459 apart   ;D

The fact that they make over 50,000 mini revolvers per year is impressive. That's more than I would have thought from a smaller outfit making a niche product.
