I purchased a new Guardian 380 w/ the CT grips and took it out for the first time yesterday. Put 160 rds. through it. Winchester 90gr. FMJ, Independence 90 gr. FMJ, and a few Hornady HP's......wanted to start with the standard load and FMJ for ease of loading. The gun fired fine and the CT grips are nice especially at night. I did however have some loading issues where the 4th round would not chamber properly causing the magazine to release in my hand. This happened a few times. I could see how once the round shifted positions in the loading port it could cause this to happen by the pressure placed on the magazine. Anyone else have this experience here ?
Question: What is the normal breakin period for these small autos, this being my first of this size ? How many rounds usually need to be put through it to get things in working order here ?
This model came highly reccomended to me by another NRA Cert Inst. and is one reason I purchased it. Also, I was considdering the Ruger LCP, but I noticed the weight of the gun loaded was half the Guardian. I was amazed at the little kick this gun has and thought the lighter Ruger would want to fly out of your hand at 12ozs. loaded.
