Anyone else have similar experiences with one of these?
Against my better judgment, I went ahead and bought one of these little things to serve as a pocket gun instead of my little S&W Model 36 J frame. I like the weight and size, but after my experience, I don't think I'd like it so much in a defensive situation. I had multiple failures to extract with both Winchester White Box FMJ and PPU (Prvi Partizan) FMJ ammo. No limp wristing or other shooter errors.
I'm sure there are some fairly reliable pocket .380s floating around out there, but I think this pretty much makes up my mind in the .38 snub vs. pocket .380 debate. Despite the added bulk and weight of the .38, there's a lot to be said for "five for sure."
