Has anyone else noticed the first round in thier magazine migrating forward,I know others have had it happen when chambering a round but my chamber is always loaded and I very often drop the magazine to find the top round has moved.
Yesterday I dropped the magazine and the round must have been poking far enough out that it hung up on something inside and fell out of the grip frame after the magazine came out.
I pocket carry it in a holster so the muzzle is always pointing down and it is stored muzzle down it a quick access so I wonder if gravity is just doing its thing but I am concerned that it wont feed right with a round that far out.

You could try putting 1 round in the mag put it in & load the round into the chamber then drop the mag load it then tap the back of the mag on your palm to seat all the rounds then insert the full mag. Carry it for a day then drop the mag & see where the top round is.

It's a known issue with the P380 causing light strikes. Mine did the same thing, but I purchased a striker from Lakeline which basically cured my problem.

That is basically what what I do,the chamber is never emptied,I just re seat the top round and notice that it regularly migrates forward given time.
