What kind of velocity do you get?
BuffaloBore sells a 100 gr hardcast .380 that gets 1150 fps (294 fpe) out of a PPK with a 3.5" barrel.
I'll be very impressed if your loading gets anywhere near 1000 fps.
That said, I like the Model 30 (and earlier hand ejectors) and would buy one for the right price. Just not my choice for self defense.
