On Thanksgiving my wife and I finally took my new 380 for its inaugural shoot. Didn't keep tabs of the grouping but had a great time with it. Shot Winchester WB, American Eagle, and Remington FMJ. Since it was 23 degrees and getting dark and we were meeting some friends at a casino for dinner, we cut the time short and only ran 33 rounds through her. Without a hiccup. No fail to fire, feed, or eject. I know its not enough for a break in but it was great and I was really pleased with the performance.
On December 27th I took it out by myself and ran 9 Speer Gold Dots, and 5 Federal Premium defense rounds and a few more target rounds. This time two Remington rounds jammed while feeding. Two jams out of 82 rounds while still being broke in, I think thats acceptable and doesn't bother me. This is gonna be my primary summer carry gun. I'll be getting myself a pf9 shortly for winter carry.
Since my wife doesn't have the physical strength to pull the slide back to chamber a round on the 380, and assuming she'll have similar problems with a pf9, I'm looking at getting her a S&W model 642.
I think its a great little gun.
