I am sitting here waiting on an appointment, mind wondering. Why do .380 autos seem to be so quirky and problematic. I have owned and shot a lot of .380s over the years. Everything from Walther PPK to little pocket rockets. Seen a lot of them at the range as well. I have yet see one make it 100+ rounds without hiccuping and I have handled a lot of guns. (I admit some ran OK with a few rounds.) Even a quick google search of the Glock 42 suggests some ammo pickiness. Why?
my theories:
1) low pressure round
2) less expensive pistols built to a price point
3) smaller pistols, I am beginning to think timing and such in small guns is tricky
