Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics .380 ACP

A: I would try a different magazine and different ammo

A: John, this is not normal especially with ball ammunition unless you got a bad batch. I would first try some other brands of 380 to check function. If it clears then the ammunition is the issue. If not then the pistol is the issue. Also try another magazine just in case as well. If these don't pan out, don't mess with it for the sake of your warranty and contact Springfield immediately for service at Toll-Free: (800) 680-6866 or Phone: (309) 944-5631

A: My 911 has had issues with Fiocchi ammo as have a couple other 380s I own. It's noticeably softer in recoil than other ammo to me. I'd try a box of something else and see what happens. After the cycling issues I had, I tried a box of Critical Defense (hotter chage) and it cycled it perfectly. Springfield has excellent C.S. if you need to call them.

A: I would try a different magazine and different ammo

A: James, yes Sir. I have several boxes of the same UPC code and it is printed right on the box Sir. Cheers again!

A: Paul, not in 380 acp but I have used plenty of fiocchi ammo in a 9mm sig p365 xl with good results. They're fairly accurate and 100% reliable. Fiocchi makes great ammo and would put it up there with cci blazer and pmc bronze. Hope this helps.

A: Haven't used Fiocchi ammo in a Sig but used plenty of .380 in my Wife's M&P Shield EZ. Myself, plenty of Fiocchi 9mm through my Glocks & PCC. No issues ever.

A: Hi Paul and welcome. have used over 400 rounds and never any issues. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Hi Eldis, overall length may be out of specification. I have not had any issues with PMC nor S&B .380 rounds. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Have shot boxes of these through the wife's Shield Ez .380 with no issues at All!! I run The Fiocchi 9mm through my Glocks as well, good ammo!!

A: Eldis, that's weird, they should fit and function just fine. Is the Ruger new, have you tried other ammo. If not and this is the first time trying to fire it could be an issue with the gun. Could also be out of spec ammo but I've never had that happen with fiocchi ammo. You could try taking the pistol apart and see if the round seats in the barrel correctly. I'd recommend taking the gun and ammo to a gunshop/gunsmith and see if they can help you. Sorry you're having trouble but hope this helps some and wish you luck in straightening it out.

A: Eldis, yes people have had problems chambering this ammo in their Ruger LCP's. This has a slightly thicker rim, and thicker rim does not slide up under the extractor when the round is entering the chamber. The rim thickness also causes extraction problems. Stay stay safe & have a great day!

A: Hi Randall and welcome. i have around 250rds through my Bersa TPR .380 with no issues so far. I have used these JHP's without issue as well : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/43071/magtech+.380+acp+95+grain+jacketed+hollow+point ------ Cheers and stay safe!

A: Have put about 200 rounds through my wife's M&P Ez with no issues at all. Can't speak much on the Bersa though.

A: yes it shoots great in my Bersa

A: Hi Randall, I have not used it is a Bersa Thunder, but I have used this in my Ruger LCP with no issues. Stay safe & have a great day!

A: 308 is actually a bit higher chamber pressure than 7.62x51, so the 7.62 is safe from a . 308 but not necessarily the other way around. While most 7.62 weapons can probably handle most . 308 ammo just fine, you should make some effort to make sure before using your particular combination.

A: Hi H. William and welcome. Yes, .308 is higher pressure compared to 7.62x51NATO (the reverse of .223 and 5.56NATO). Ant 308 will fire both no issue. Cheers and stay safe!
