I've also had the BG380 since it was first released. I have MANY rounds through it and never a single malfunction. The original laser still works great too. I've carried this little pistol every day for the last 5 years. It's been sweat soaked countless times and looks no worse for the wear. I've always carried it with Hornady CD in a Desantis Nemesis in my front pocket. I feel confident that it will go bang if I need it to.
