Well, I sent mine in to S&W and then bought another one without the safety. Took it to the range the last couple of days and had no problem when I gripped it correctly. I have a lazy hand sometimes. I shot Hardcast, ball ammo and XTP's and Golden Sabers and all functioned great. But I had a problem with the hollow points in my Walther PPK,S. I also have a PPK but it functioned well with all ammo. I will go to the Walther Forum with that problem. I do like this 380ez.
