  • Break in ammo for the CW380

    Took the new CW380 out for the first time and shot 50 rounds of PMC FMJ to start breaking it in. The pistol ran flawlessly, no FTF, jams or misfeeds. I noticed though the gun was extremely dirty after just 50 rounds. Is this the PMC ammo or do they just run dirty ? Anyone suggest another brand ammo to use for practice that may not be so dirty ?
    Thanks

    that's the brand I used for break in, (cheapest i could find) and it was pretty nasty stuff. so after 200 rounds of it it was pretty caked up.
    I rather enjoy cleaning my guns though so I didn't mind.

    it wasnt near as dirty with the precision one defense rounds I ran through it, so I think the PMC is just a bit dirty.

      For a while .380 ammo was pretty much unavailable and $$ when found. I just shot what ever I found unless it was over $30/box for practice ammo. Seldom shot over 30-40 rounds at one time and cleaned after each time. I would agree defense ammo is much cleaner and some ammo is dirtier than others. Lawman FMJ seems to run clean.

        Seems to me that WWB is a fairly clean ammo. Admittedly I only fire 30-40 at a time but
        when I wipe the bore afterwards its pretty clean. I don't field strip it ever time and clean
        the insides. Haven't had any particular probs with the CW389.
