P380 First Range Report

[Jigger]

Took the P380 to the range today, all I can say is wow. I shot 100 rounds of WWB and the only issue I had is when I loaded the first 3 mags and released the slide stop the first round jammed. After the third mag it never happened again. No FTF,FTE or jams after that with the WWB. Shot 25 rounds of Blazer alum, had 1 FTE. Shot 25 rounds of golden sabre 102 gr hp and had one jam on the first mag loading the first round, everything went ok after that. It is very accurate at 7 and 10 yds. I am very happy with the way this gun shoots. :D I really like it a lot. I will put a couple hundred more rounds thru it and hope it shoots the way it did today.

nice report, it will even get smoother in the 200 rounds which should make it even more reliable. gun and shooter also have to mate up to, in order for all things to work right. The shooter can be 50% of issues with a small assgun like these 380's.

If you are like other guys, keep this toy wet (oiled up) when you are playing with it (while breaking it in.) I pretty much had the same issues as you. Now 300 rounds later, she is flawless and obeys :)

This is good to read. Hope to be reading more and more posts like yours about the P380.

Yea, I'm happy for you. When it works right, it is a great handgun. Guess I'm a little jealous, mine is at the mothership getting its 6 month tuneup. LOL

Yep - my problem was engaging the slide stop/release with my thumb causing the slide to lock back with rounds still in the mag. Still do it from time to time :frown:

That's the way they are supposed to work!
