I took my CHL class without owning a gun. I borrowed the instructors S&W 9mm. I had a stovepipe during the firing test.
I assumed it was due to my nervousness and inexperience.

An instructor friend said to never get a .380 as they always have problems just like you have said. I told him I was getting a Sig P238 and he did not recommend it as it was a .380.

I have really had no failures with the Sig in 400 rounds now. Others on this and other forums have had problems with this gun.

My instructor friend has now fired a Sig P238 and he has changed his view on this one gun regarding .380's. He loved it and plans to buy one.

He still however, does not think it is enough gun, but now at least feels this one gun is a reliable shooter for personal defense.

The weight of the gun helps very much with the recoil as it is minimal.
