I'm confused. This thread is about the Micro Desert Eagle .380 ACP (granted, .380 is the same diameter as 9 mm).

Any particular pistol in a certain caliber can be more powerful than another due to the action (locked breech versus blowback) and barrel length.

Is that the Winchester wadcutters?

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.

What kind of ammo?

That sounds like a typical break-in problem.

- Jim

Was that failure to feed or failure to fire?

Welcome to the forum.

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.

This baby is a blowback design. The P3AT is locked breech.
