True and False.. IF
Was hoping you guys could tell me where this comes from as I have heard it several times from different people. Is this true or false?

True, IF one owns a 380 that uses a blow-back action. This gets any 380 very very dirty in 230 rounds, was my on-going experience. Mix all that black gun powder with oil (and heat) on the feed-ramp, on, and within, (internal walls and mag sping), the first 1/4" of mags and the follower, and the recipe is there for a feed jam, and it will occur with the first or second shot, as was the case with my 380.
Up to 200 rounds, which goes quick at one range session, based on a completely cleaned, and freshly oiled gun, they sing/work great. But come rounds 230 and on, uncleaned, and each mag, thereafter, had a feed jam on the most important shot, the second or third, (for those follow-up shots) and unjamming/clearing them was a "time eater" IF one had a 380 with a Euro style bottom Mag thumb-release..
Keep a round count, keep them clean, both gun and "mags" (internal walls) and one should be OK with any of these type blow-back action 380's.
False IF gun is a Closed breach action with side thumb release mag button and should be FAR more forgiving both, in higher round counts before cleaning needed, and in the time it takes to clear a feed jam, thru dropping the mag and clycing out the jam.
Been there, done that.. with a Sig P232 SL
