I'm actually a big fan and follower of these little gems. I've owned and carried one almost everyday for close to 30yrs , since they first came out. Actually , I've got 3 .380s and one of the somewhat rarer .22LR's. They were a great design and well made. They CAN be made extremely reliable by someone who knows what their doing. The main problem was the stainless steel parts were sand blasted investment castings. Not necessarily a bad thing , but the factory never took the time to polish the feed ramp and slide/frame rails and OD of the barrel and a few other parts that don't slide together well with such a rough surface. Once these surfaces are lapped & mated or polished , it's a slick & reliable little pistol.
PS, It seems the later the guns were made , the rougher they got. The company(s) OMC-TDE-AMT and then IAI seemed to move around a bit and YES , quality control was all the place over too. Covina , North Hollywood , El Monte , Irwindale. The lower the prefix (Axxxx , Bxxxx , Cxxxx)and serial number , the better.
If you decide ya don't want to be bothered and get rid of it , and it's got an A thru D prefix. Let me know.
