Another P380 range report

[BroncoAZ]

This one is fairly uneventful. After initial cleaning I took my new P380 to the range for break in. Long store short I had 2 failure to eject stovepipe failures (~round 40 and round 130), but only with the S&B ammo. Both were cleared with a sweep and the gun went into battery and fired. It ate up the Speer Gold Dot and PMC ball ammo just fine. I didn't follow Jocko's break in proceedure on the P380 like I did with the PM9. The gun seems to shoot a little high and right for me. I'm guessing the high is me not being familiar with the bar dot sights.

The gun was a pleasure to shoot. The recoil was very light and it felt much better in the hand than my LCP.

I'm on a slow connection, I'll add pictures later.

Well it sounds like you may be on track to have a keeper. Let that good stuff roll in. Mix up the ammo and keep on shooting.

I've enver shot a LCP, but the kahr feels like a heavy recoil, of course the mildest thing I can compareit to it a MP9c, so there should be a big diff still

if I unload the whole mag quickly, I actually feel the grip get away from my hand, it feels like it's getting loose off my grip... I was told the pachmyr #4 works well to fix that issue

I might have exaggerated a bit calling the recoil very light. The two other guns I shot during that range session, my wife's LCR and a Glock 23, had noticably more recoil than the P380.

The LCP recoil is a little more than the P380, but the LCP is harder for me to hold onto with big hands. The LCP grip is a shallower angle and less tactile. I still think the LCP is a fine gun, but the P380 is much better.
