I finally had an opportunity to range day my new Tungsten CT380 and was not disappointed. I read all the latest on here regarding the "break in" period and got all the items ready including obtaining two new mags.
I got three boxes of Remington and one box of Winchester and off I went.
The first few mags went without incident. The second to last mag, I had a round fail to go all the way into battery. A slight swipe to the rear end of the slide and the gun was shooting again. AFter that mag, I looked into the feedramp area and the shiny ramp was totally black. I cleaned the ramp and started shooting the next group of 50, which was the Winchester. Zero problems after the 50. The next 50 had a couple of failure to battery, and again the bump fixed the round. I cleaned the ramp for a third time and decided to go ahead and shoot the last 50. I had three rounds this time that did not go into battery. Two were easily repaired, the third was not.
I came home and cleaned a VERY dirty little pistol. I think I had a total of 6/7 rds that failed to go into battery. Each occurred when the gun was filthy. The Winchester performed the best, despite it being the truncated versus the round nose. I did notice the mags would not fall free and that was a little irritating. All in all, I like this gun better than the G42. The sights are better, the trigger better, and the price was wayyyyyy better :amflag:
