Another update from a new 380EZ owner:

Previously I had reported an occasional double-feed/partial ejection from the last round in the magazine; same as reported by Hickok45 in his recent review of the new model. I'm happy to say that after an additional 300 rounds, that has not been repeated. H45 attributed the premature ejection to possible week spring in the magazine, but I'm thinking that it may have been due to a slightly too-strong spring that has since been exercised out.
Anyway, it's still not an everyday CCW for me, but it's getting there.

The 380EZ seems to like fairly hot rounds; about the same as my G42. I've found that it does not cycle reliably with less than 3.0 gr W-231 under a 105 gr TC coated bullet. Still a very soft shooter, and fairly accurate. I find that I can reliably hit a standard combat target at 25 yds. Not all x's or 10's, but on the paper and in the scoring zone.. I'm getting comfortable with it. -S2
