I think somebody makes a buffer for that....lemme see if I can find a link.I would not use +P in your 380 BDA.
I have a Beretta Model 84 which is basically the same pistol. With standard ammunition, over time the slide peens the frame over where the slide impacts the frame under recoil.
It takes a while, but the pistol will become more difficult to disassemble as the peening interferes with the removal of the guide rod.
The peening can be removed with a small half round file but it will come back again.
My pistol started having disassembly issues at around 1500 rounds and I have had to clean up the area after every 500 rounds or so since.
Nice looking pistol though. I need to keep eye out for one to go with my Model 84.
Hmmm,. no joy on a quick google search, though I did find several posts on various forums describing how folks made them from 1911 and M92 buffers.I think somebody makes a buffer for that....lemme see if I can find a link.

With the recent glut of Italian police trade-ins flooding the market, Id be surprised if somebody didnt see the potential and start making one. Know anybody with an injection molding machine?If you find the link, I'd be interested to see it.
I tried making a buffer from a 1911 polymer buffer but it was after the problem showed up. The repaired surfaces on the frame would just rip the buffer apart in a 100 or so rounds.
Oh, well, thanks for trying.
There is not a SAMMI spec for .380+P.I don’t believe there is a .380 +P ammo manufacturer. I could be wrong though. Show me. http://shootingthebull.net/blog/why-i-wont-use-or-test-380-acp-p-or-any-p-ammo/
Precision one loads a +p 380 round. The Beretta Pico and the Kahr CW 380 are both rated to handle +p 380, per the manual for the former, and per customer service for the latter.I don’t believe there is a .380 +P ammo manufacturer.

Just stick with factory Hornady XTP. It's the best general purpose bullet for .380.
Speer just released it's .380 HydraShok Deep It's designed for light and heavy clothing only but it performs well.
I don’t know how companies are getting away with producing +p .380 when there is no spec for it.
