Same ammo - different result??

[Cokeman]

All of them.

25 rounds of 90gr JHP and 50 rounds of 100gr FMJ fired today during a quick visit to the range. All fed, fired and ejected perfectly. And each mag locked back on last round. This makes 300 rounds total. Maybe it is starting to work out ok. If I can get 100 rounds more with these results I will be satisfied with using the P380 as EDC.

50 more rounds today were perfect. Then went back to the Freedom Munitions remans that gave me trouble early on and same result -- just won't feed properly about 60% of the time. So, I am pretty much convinced that with good quality ammo this gun is reliable enough for me to carry EDC.

And such an easy shooter. After 100 rounds I could have gone another 100. I shot the Taurus 380 before buying my Kahr and after 50 rounds I wanted nothing more to do with it -- it ate my trigger finger up.

This is a great little pocket gun.

Glad you got it all sorted out. Shoot straight. Be safe.

Thanks everyone for all the advice. Glad to be a member here.

BTW -- I'm cleaning the crap out of the P380 after every trip to the range. Mags too!

I saw a box WWB 380 going or $25 buck here in my local Wally World.

50 or 100 rounds?

This is where I get my ammo now. I picked up a few boxes of both the XTP JHP and the Reman 100gr FMJ ($18.99) at the gun show last weekend. Both performed flawlessly in my P380. They are local to me in SC and do a quality job with their ammo.

Put 50 more rounds of the Precision One FMJ downrange today. Flawless performance! This makes 250 rounds now without a hiccup.

Quite a nice little gun is the P380! Very pleased now that I bought it and stuck with it through some early issues. I believe that if you use quality ammo and clean and lube the gun properly after each use you will be happy,happy,happy.

[b4uqzme]

Yes you will. Thanks for the follow up. Happy endings for everyone!!!

Really?? Direct me to some of this "inexpensive" ammo. I don't consider $1 a round to be inexpensive.

You can find Blazer Brass or PMC .380 auto at $24 for a box of fifty rounds at just about any place that sells ammo. If you want cheaper roll your own.

Did that when I got it then shot 125 rds. How often do these mags need to be cleaned anyway? Do you guys clean them after every 50 rds or so?

I clean my gun and my mags every time I shoot. I want my gun to go bang should the need arise.

Muggsy -- Already figured out the deal with cleaning of mags and also found good reliable ammo with the Precision One for $18.99.

I'm good to go now with the P380.

But thanks anyway.
