I'd love to shoot one but I'll stick with the P3AT and my multiple holsters (ankle, hip and pocket. yes, I use them all) for now.

I bought a De Santis pocket holster that was marked for a LCP for my Micro Desert Eagle. It fits perfect. The size of the Micro Desert Eagle and the LCP are very close.

I have found those to be the best-feeding .380s, in my limited experience. I don't know why. Hollowpoints and Blazers seem to have more problems.

You have to special-order this caliber and pay through the nose. It's as bad as .357 Magnum, which is a lot more fun to shoot, IMO.

All that I've shot through it so far has been 380 target. I have a couple of boxes of hollowpoints but haven't use any of those yet. I read on another site where the guy said he had a couple of FTF in the first 100 rounds but is at 500 rounds now without any more problems. I guess that will be the same for me too.

What kind of ammo?

That sounds like a typical break-in problem.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. I've been using winchester 380 auto 95 gr. It's getting to the point where you have to use what you can find here. Went to bass pro shop yesterday to pick up some ammo and they were sold out of 380. About all they had there was 9mm and 45. They did have 40s&w but only in the value pack of 250 rounds. I did find some 380 at academy later though.

It was a failure to feed. Just gave the slide a little push and that was it. So far that was the only time.

What kind of grouping do you get at what range?

The problems with small .380s mostly involve feeding or ejection. It will be interesting to hear your experience with this new model.

All were within 3 inches at 7 yards. I did have one FTF but I'm hopping that works itself out as the gun breaks in.

I just purchased a Magnum Research Micro Desert Eagle and I've already had it to the range twice. For such a small gun it shoots extremely accurate. I was very surprised by this. It was a little pricey but if it continues to perform like this then all I can say is What A Gun!
