I second the opinion on the Russian ammo having hard primers. I ran one box through my BG380, and about a third of them FTF'd. They all went on the second or third strike (a nice thing about the BG380 is that's an option). I've only ever had one FTF with "good ammo", and that was one of the first few rounds I ran through a brand new gun (and it went on the second strike).
I really like my BG380 - just don't get too wound up in some of the very early production issues (serial numbers EAA or EAB prefixes). To me, it's the best CCW option going (for those times when I can't hide a hand cannon).
