I'm encouraged that at least S&W has admitted there is a problem and they are repairing/replacing defective BK380's for their customers. After all, it took six years of constant complaining for them to even admit their was a problem with the PPK/S. What is it about producing a simple blow back operated dinky little .380 that causes so many problems for U.S. manufacturers? S&W, Ruger, Grendel and others seem to have all kinds of problems with these little guns whereas they have been in production in Europe for decades.
