Wish me luck ... new CT380
Just picked up a new CT380. Will clean and lube this weekend. Should start the break in next week. I have 3 brands of brass FMJ ready to go - Blazer Brass, Armscor and PMC Bronze.
I have a CM9 that's great but I had a bad experience with a CW380 a few years ago. I hope this 380 works out better.

Broke it down and cleaned and lubed. A few observations:
Came apart easily and went back together with no issues.
Very little packing grease inside and not very dirty from being test-fired.
Both ends of the larger outside recoil spring are closed. No problem at all reinstalling the recoil spring.
Slide is stiff but not too difficult to rack. I will of course chamber the first by using the slide release.
Feed ramp is shiny but I can see some tooling marks.

How do you plan to carry it? I use a Remora pocket holster.
Mostly I carry IWB at 1:30 with a t-shirt or polo as cover. For that I will likely use a High Noon Upper Cut that I bought for my RM380. When I do pocket carry I have a Braids leather pocket holster that I believe was made for a CM9. A couple of velcro strips on the inside to take up the extra space and it fits great.
I also put 2 layers of bike tube on to fatten up the grip a little.
