Why the steep feed angle?

That settles it. The end.

My guess is that the magazine feed lip angle is partly determined by the relationship of the grip angle to the bore axis.

Yes, I think you are right. When I aligned the mags with the grips the P380 may have been a hair steeper but that adjustment brought them much closer.

Thanks!
