New P380 owner in metro-Atlanta. I wanted a small 380 for every day pocket carry, but also wanted something well made with a decent trigger. Looked at the LCP and TCP, but was not impressed. A little research made it clear that the the P380 is the class of the field. I happened to stop by a LGS about an hour after they got in five P380's and .....
Not sure what "test firing at Kahr" means, but RD02## was filthy out of the box. Not a problem; I prefer to dis-assemble / clean / lube before I shoot anything.
50 rounds of 20 year old PMC FMJ and 50 rounds of Atlanta Arms & Ammo FMJ reloads so far with no malfunctions. Had to learn the hard way that "slingshotting" does not work (old habits die hard), but using the slide release does.
The little rascal is surprisingly pleasant to shoot; very little recoil and more accurate than I expected. I am nothing special with a pistol, but was able to shoot 8 to 10 inch 7 shot groups at 10 yards.
Will fire a couple of hundred more rounds of FMJ on the range this weekend and then see if it likes Hornady Critical Defense ammo.
Now if I can just find a wallet holster that I like. A Talon (OK draw, but too thick) and an Uncle George (thin, but difficult draw) have already come and gone. Thinking about a Recluse Solo OS; anybody using one?
