    Fiocchi ammo is also manufactured in Italy, Hungary, and Great Britain. That's how it's foreign.
    Never trust anyone who doesn't trust you to own a gun.

    ^^ This and I'd suggest not shooting more than 50 rounds at a time. This isn't a Glock that will withstand a 500 round session. P380s get dirty and are finicky. All you really need to worry about is the first twenty rounds anyway. I had a PM9 that always had one or two jams per 100 rounds. However, the jams were always in the last 50 rounds, so I didn't sweat it.

    I have been to Ozark Missouri and even some Missourians might be tempted to call it "foreign". I put two hundred ronds through my P380 and the only problem I had was a "light strike" on a Fiocchi round. Upon examination it appeared to have been struck normally by the firing pin. Second try and it fired. I have heard of hard primers in Fiocchi but normally it has been acceptbale target ammo.
