It appears that I have a 'fast' P3at. Anyone who does a lot of chronographing has probably noted nontypical for caliber firearms-and it isn't just revolvers with varying barrel/cylinder gaps. Chamber dimensions, bore dimensions and finishand firing pin shape and strike energy can all combine to slightly enhance or degrade performance from "normal".........So even more than before I think "ball" is the way to go in tiny .380s
