Drat, just ordered two springs to play with, but not an extra plunger.

Yes, I probably need to check which brands/headstamps are hanging up. As long as I'm carrying Golden Saber it's perfectly reliable (and was also with Critical Defense when I had some of that).

I...

I'm honestly puzzled by the feeding habits of my CT380.

It feeds S&B ball ammo and Remington Golden Sabers just fine. Never a hiccup.

My handloads, on the other hand, about 30% FTF although...

TFOs were a no-go as the front sight did work out of position when I shot it. Groan. I have replaced beaucoup sights in my day, but never as problematic as with this gun... :(

Switched out the mag release and voila no more dropsy!

It's a cute little gun but will probably never take the place of my Sig P938 as a bug...

Thanks for the link. My CT380 and PM9 are two of the most finicky guns I have ever owned! :p

Happens weak-handed and one-handed as well. Just installed a new magazine release. The old one looked like someone had filed it down, and a new gun no less.

Happens with all three mags. Removed the internals and had a look where the catch engages the cut-out. Not seeing anything preventing the catch from engaging, but it barely does so. I'm getting a new...

Installed the TFO sights, but the front sight base does not sit flush on the slide in the dovetail. For some reason it has positioned itself about 1/2 mm up so there's daylight visible between the...

Good suggestions, thanks!

Shooting strong-hand two-handed I find that the magazine often drops free before the 6th or (especially) the 7th round chambers.

The mag release seems to be a bit loose all things considered.
...

Yes, I guess it's common-sense, but at that point I was being very wary.


Success, although the dovetail is a wee bit on the loose side. Will take it to the range and see if it holds zero, if not...

Got the dovetail base out after making the cut.

Now, install from the left or the right (strong hand side or weak hand)?

There are a few YT videos on installation, but nothing particular to...

Thanks, that was my inclination (guess), but I had to stop for the night as I was getting irritated and the garage is about 95 degrees... This will require some cautious deliberation.

When you get...

So, installing TruGlo TFO sights. Rear sight comes out okay, although there appears to be a tiny bit of rust in the dovetail cut. Seated the new sight with no problems at all.

Front sight, working...

Using the Dawson Precision sight calculator I need a front sight .230” high; stock is .180”. Or figure out a different hold.

or maybe buy aftermarket sights and just be done with it.

Thanks. I'll check that next time at the range, but on two sessions shooting a variety of ammunition the offset has been virtually identical. I've never had this issue before with any handgun I can...

Factory sights, on the rear at least. I assume the front sights are factory too.

Back out for a follow up. Golden Saber HP is GTG, Geco still a non-starter, and my reloads were not bad at all. A few of the latter didn't quite chamber, but I'll reduce the OAL and see if that...

Yes. Was out to the range again today, shooting 115, 135 +P and 147 and no real difference among them (aside from +P recoil). Wondering if the former owner didn't change out the front sight at one...

Thanks, it's worth a try. Also need to run some JHP through it.

Curious how the height of the factory sights compares with the DP sights, even some increment may make a big difference.

At least with Blazer 115 gr I ‘m consistently hitting 3-4 inches high when I center my front sight on the bullseye. When I use a VERY low 6 o’clock hold I hit the center.

Good groupings, just too...

Here's one I dug up:

Where is this mythical beast sold? Couldn't Google it...
