Made my first post about 3weeks ago after Jocko encouraged me on another forum to try the CW9. Bought a PM9 the same week and just fired my new P380 today.

I hated the recoil of my PPK, tolerated the recoil of my LCP, managed the recoil of my Micro DE but absolutely enjoy the lack of recoil of this P380. And, it's crazy accurate to boot.

Had a little trouble with PriviPartisan (couple of stovepipes) but it fed 100 rounds of American Eagle with no issues at all.

I did have a little trouble with re-assembly after initial cleaning: when re-mounting the slide I had to depress the little spring-loaded protrusion on the right rear of the frame so that the slide would clear the hammer assembly. Have I missed something in the manual or is there another method?

Thanks for the encouragement and advice.

try pulling the triger when it gets back to that trigger bar half moon. see if that helps. It should.

I would say that Priv Partisan ammo was not the best in the west either. Find the rounds that work super and just stick with them. My P380 didn't like 102 grain golden sabres, so I just moved on to another round. I was not going to fight it as it was not at the time my devotion round that I wanted to carry either, as I was just testing it out..

I can tell you (embarassingly to) that I shoot my P380 better than I do my PM9, now figure that sh-t out and get back to me with a good answer.. I have owned 3 kt's 380, and I still own an lcp (nice gun) but I could not hit jack sh-t with eiter and they didn't feel good either shooting 50 rounds through them either. the little P380 is not that way..

Do you not think that accuracy is directly proportional to muzzle velocity or energy? Meaning you would anticipate the recoil way less the smaller the caliber/bullet weight therefore increasing accuracy.
I don't really know and I'm not claiming that is true. But it sounds like it could have some truth somewhere.
