Hello; I'm new here, tho' I recognize some of the names here from the old KelTec boards.
Got a P380 yesterday and took it for a test hop. From the second magazine, I had repeated slide stop engagements, as many as two a magazine. This encompassed a variety of ammo, including FMJs, Gold Dots, and my own lead truncated cone reloads. I put 100 rounds thru' the gun; it shot well and was accurate.
The good sights, ergonomics, trigger and slide stop motivated my purchase, as I also have an LCP...an LCP that has never misbehaved in over 700 rounds.
I also had one epic jam; a casing was turned 180* in the ejection port and ended up wedged between the barrel hood and the extractor....I mean really wedged; it almost took pliers to get it out.
I'm hoping the jam was a 1:100K event, but the slide stop engagements are not acceptable in a self defense gun...any clues on fix?
I did see some other references while lurking here, but I thought I'd post a new thread.
Thanks in advance, and hello to everyone.
