CW380 misbehaving

[3502dav]

Took my CW380 to the range today. I used Sig Sauer elite .380 100 grain FMJ. Every magazine , both the 7 round and 6 round magazine, had numerous FTF and failure of the slide to lock back after last round. Anyone have issues with this ammunition. Last week I used PMC ammo with only 1 or 2 FTF issues out of 100 rounds. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/01/048c8eb826ec449fc29c10874802e57d.jpg

It COULD be the ammo, but I've not heard of that particular round being a problem. There are so many reasons a tiny semi auto can misbehave. When I've had problems it was most often operator error. If its new to you and you're not used to micro 380s you have not idea how susceptible they are to imperfect grip, limp wrist, riding the slide, putting pressure on the extended mag etc. Every flaw like that is magnified in these little babies. If you've had it a long time with no prior problems, it could be the recoil springs need replacing. From reading the forum there seem to be numberless other possibilities but those 3 are the ones I've experienced.

Similar problem with Wolf ammo. Photo looks identical. I've _lightly_ polished the exit of all my magazines with 1000 grit, smoothed the followers, everything but a detail strip to check the striker. That's next. I also agree with SlowBurn, my earlier issues were mostly thumb-on-slide.
