There were several areas inside the chassis that then had to be cleaned up with a file and the gun had to be fired again before the slide moved normally when being drawn back to the rear.

Do you have any data on how much hotter the BB .380 rounds are loaded? Are they still within SAAMI specs?
I don't think there is a SAAMI spec for .380 +P and can't tell you the velocity difference between BB+P and Speer Gold Dot, but there is definately a difference in felt recoil and bullet performance. I think BB has chrono data on their website and you could chrono your gun, or find someone else's data ( www.stoppingpower.net , Speed Trap forum?) and make a SWAG.
