Had a really strange Winter down here this year. We thought we would skate through unscathed, but got hammered in February so this review took longer than expected. We did have a few tee shirt days on the weekend so I managed to get it done last weekend. I'll finish up the review write up later this week or this weekend.

Good video. I appreciate your reviews, especially ammo (which might not be as much fun as new guns) Any plans to review the new HST 380?

Liked your video. Very well done. I was particularly impressed with your grouping from the magazine of doom.

Video could be improved with better audio. Same with your Taurus Curve video that I just happened to watch earlier.

Taurus Curve was a disaster. Everyone was pushing me to Blue Snowball, but neglected to tell me which Blue Snowball. Of course, I bought the wrong one. CT380 was done with the correct Blue Snowball.

Audio is a really big challenge and spending money isn't helping very much. Perhaps it could be better with additional time spent during production, but I have way too many hours invested by then. I appreciate the feedback and agree that aspect could be improved.

I won't say no to testing/reviewing HST 380, but it's not on my plan at the moment.

Hope you do, using the p380, because the HST 380 round is supposed to be made specifically for micros. Really like your ammo reviews. Less pompous and, I think, more reliable than some others.

A great review of the pistol and the magazine upgrade. Great shooting, too, but could have included some CT-380 velocities, too. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Wynn. Here ya go. I walk a fine line with the YouTube audience. Most won't put up with too much technical detail, unless it's part of a review for something brand new and different than anything else on the market. I save the technical details for the blog. I don't think I've ever had a complaint about the blog being too long, or too detailed.

Way more positives with your videos than negatives - keep them coming. Hope you're not upset with our minor criticisms.

Excellent & informative review. Thank you for your professional work and for posting it here.

My CT380 had not one problem with the Remington FMJ or the Hornady CD, but would not run the WWB at all. I was using three of the 7 round factory mags. All locked back on the last round every time with the good ammo.

I may get some of those MagGut kits, but they seem kinda pricey.

Not at all because I've grown so much by listening and fixing what I'm capable of changing. I just wish I could get the audio thing taken care of without spending a ton of money.

Thanks for another great review, will be watching for the full write up on the blog... (one of my favorite blogs...) It looks like the CT380 is the right size for a concealable, yet big enough to shoot easy .380.

Great review. I have had no problems with any ammo in my CT380, although I haven't tried WWB. Keep up the good work.
