      Triger kind of finiky.
      Put 150 rounds through her, still trying to find sweet spot.
      Will play with snap caps to get more feel.

        Well play with snap caps to get more feel.

        There you go, before wasting more ammo. What's next

            Good, I was going to ask if you have a .22 - That'll be a great gun to blast with, cheap and fun. Do you have plans to trick her out?

              She already has RedDot installed. That should do for a while.

                I have a bull barrel, switched out the trigger and she is sweet. Enjoy.

                  Thanks.
                  Mine is a bullbarrel also. We'll se about triger and stuff after some shooting.

                    Any reason why you got a .380 for a first gun?

                      I didn't want to get anything bigger than 9mm, and I like how it looks and feels in my hand.

                      And I've got Bersa a friend.

                          A .380 is a great beginner's round, low recoil that will still pack a punch. The .380 is easily my favorite handgun round.

                            i wanted to get onof thos for a light small gun but the fact that the barrel doesnt come off/out really bugged me and i also found out that 380 is a bit more than 9mm

                              rrr70........Now before you get the big head about that little .380 pocket pistol, you need to know just what the limitations are when it comes to using this caliber for self-defense and it is NOT 20 yards.

                              However, please don't take my word, you just bundle up some newspaper and soak them in water and then shoot your .380 auto pistol into that newspaper. You will be lucky to get 2 inches of penetration using self-defense ammo. The .380 auto is a get the guy off your back type of a caliber no more than 6 ft in my mind.

                              The 9mm Luger has over twice the energy and 60% more penetration into wet newspaper than the .380-auto. Just some foof for your thoughts!
