Reading, Polishing, Shooting, more of that over and over and over gain. Come to the conclusion that Rem 102 GS's will not function with any type reliability so they've been erased. I read so much on type of round that's been positive in the P380 and then boiled it down to two. For target the Lawman 95 fmj functions(perfect in to battery with slide stop), superb as of today no failures in the 50 round box. I've probably shot approximately 250 through the tube. Now for SD round that is reliable in 'My P380' hands down winner are the BB 80gr Barnes +p. Very expensive day but needed done for my piece of mind. I ran 6 mags of them without a blink(all slide lock chambering), I now have the utmost comfort level while carrying this sweet little pistol. It is a very Snappy little +P round but you can just feel the pistol working superbly, just a great day.

Nice find. I love it when a plan comes together. No SNAFUs or FUBARs.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the lowly .380. Your having a reliable .380 Kahr is awesome.

My P380 is about as reliable as it gets. I'm actually thinking of selling my PM9, not cuz I don't like it but I find I carry the P380 in warmer months and my 3 inch 1911 in the winter. The PM9 feels so much larger and heavier than the P380 that it's rarely carried anymore.

The 3" 1911 is a sweet pistol to carry in the winter, and the 380 has to be one of nicest/invisible summer carries. Definitely a stout little beast with +p's and I do not want hit with this,

My .380 carries BB hardcast FN in +P. You can tell a difference when you shoot that stuff, huh?

'Yes indeed', and it was the first time that my finger got stung by the trigger guard, I had to do slight position change. That hurt but I was amazed how well the gun was running.
