CW380 first 120 rounds

[guitar]

Took the new CW380 to the range today for the first time. I had cleaned and lubed it according to the stickies in the new member area, which I found quite helpful. In 120 rounds I had one stovepipe that I am pretty much sure was me limp wristing. I shot 50 Remington UMC 95 gr FMJ and about 60 PMC 90 gr FMJ with no issues with the exception of the one stovepipe. After 120 rounds I felt like it was time to quit and wait for another day. All in all I think it performed admirably and I would have no fear of using it as a carry piece but will give it another 100 rounds or so plus some with a defensive ammo first. Seemed to hit where I shot but didn't really make accuracy a priority just wanting to get some rounds through it. Will try to update after the next range trip.

Good to hear. My CW380 took a couple of boxes before thoroughly reliable.

Glad to hear the CW380 is running good for you. I would stay away from Fiocchi ammo though. My 380 wouldn't even feed it.

[Bikehiker]

Right, GA Sheepdog. Fiocchi and Perfecta. I think both are from same company.

[erichard]

And Tulammo, stay away.

Underwood with the XTP bullet performed very well for me, no issues.

Just put another 100 rounds through my cw380 today. Not one failure. I carry the precision one jhp's that function flawlessly. Good to hear yours is almost ready for EDC.

It's nice to see some positive reports on the CW380 posted here. The gun seems to get its fair share of complaints. I've put about 200 flawless rounds through mine. It's digested a diet of PPU ball ammo, Winchester Train & Defend flat tip, Hornady Critical Defense and reloads using Hornady XTP and 95gn ball bullets. I feel bad for the owners that are having problems with their pistols, but mine has behaved so well that it inspired me to buy a TP9 to carry when I want something more substantial.

My p380 fed the Fiocci ok, but the groups went all to hell.

XTPs seem to work pretty well.

Finally finished my 200+ round break in (see #1 post) included some flat nose WWB which I had read didn't always feed well. Also some Herters, UMC and PMC no failures at all. I am very pleased and quit comfortable carrying it now. I'm sure it's dependable.

Great! Thanks for the update.
