Are those boxes of 380 ammo in the picture? Looks like you hit the 380 ammo jackpot.

Happy new gun to you! Nice pics. Let us know how she runs.

Yep, Dicks Sporting Goods had @ 10-12 boxes, I took 4

Going to the range in the morning!

If that grip feels sharp, do like I did with my 3 and put a bicycle inner tube on it. No more sharp edges.

Well, not much to post except we ran 200 rounds thru the P380 today, WWB brand.

The magazines were a little sticky on the top/6th round of the mag at first and th first round sometimes would not point up towards the feed ramp, but after @ 50 rounds, that issue went away and both mags worked fine.

At 7 yards, it was easy to keep the shots in a 4" circle pattern.... I like this gun a lot and it seems to be less "snappy" than the LCP I had.

Give a boy a gun. Seems to be working good for ya, did your boy give it back or try to keep it for hisself?

[LLDJR]

,,, he did try to convince me that a .380 is small enough for someone his size to carry....

He has shot my Glock 19, M&P Pro 9mm, M&P .40, Kimber .45 and he shoots his own Ruger 22/45-Target Hunter at Friday Night Steel very well, so he thinks he knows how to shoot,, admittedly better than me, but thats not the point

nice to see a youngster do well with the P380. It is a smooth shooter but one must do all things right with it also and he seems to have the hang of it very well. It is IMO the finest 380 on the market, certainly small enough to go anywhere to. I shoot power ball ammo in my P380. Very accurate as u well noted to..

More rounds down range also and the gun will smooth out even more..

I agree, this gun gained my confidence quickly, and after another couple of boxes, I will get some SD rounds and it will be riding in this below.

I do so hate it when people use my photo without permission. I remember when my arms used to look like that and I wore clean bright white T shirts.
It's kind of a vague memory but there none the less. I plan to try that set up as well soon. Looks like it would work.

Awsome report with Video!
Just got my 1st feeding failure after close to 200 rounds.
Last round hung up a bit using Hydro Shocks, a slide nudge later and all was fine.
Fun as all heck to shoot, just wish ammo was priced according to cartridge length.

That is some GREAT shooting by Austin.
I may get spanked for saying this but if everyone had as good
a grip and stance as your son we'd probably see a lot less
"Heeelpppp....My gun soesn't work..." posts.
