I still haven't found a range that rented them. I've held and dry fired them, and while the gun itself is fairly comfortable for such a small package, the triggers were HORRIBLE. I tried at least three and they were all bad. Not terribly heavy, but very long and stagey/gritty as hell. It felt very unrefined.

Honestly the .380 M&P Bodyguard I used to have has a better trigger, and that's saying something. That trigger is long and stiff but at least pretty smooth. I was pretty shocked at the Spectrum. Many reviews have dinged it for the trigger too.

The older TCP .380 actually had a very smooth and enjoyable trigger. Not sure what went wrong between models!

I think the best trigger I've felt on a .380 pocket gun was probably the Beretta Pico.
