I ordered a magazine through eagle imports. It was backordered but only took a few weeks til it shipped. Wish I had ordered about 5 since they are going for up to 60 bucks on ebay. If you're not in a huge rush - go thru Eagle and wait it out.
Range Time
I took my BT380 to the range for some excersise, yesterday.
This was my third session with it, so it's still new to me. I sprang for a bag of F.M.J.s from my stash. I also brought the last of a box of Remington H.P.s.
The gun was perfect. I put 38 rds of ball plus 17 rds of H.P.s. This brings my round count up to 88 ball anf 17 H.P.s. that were flawless. I think it's ready for the rotation. I only shot at room distances which is it's mission in my stable. I think of it as my Suburban Sidekick.
Two minor glitches. The slide does not lock open after the last round. It does stay open when I pull it back manually. I don't really concider that to be a problem. This is not a battlefield weapon. At the moment, I don't even have a second magazine to re-charge it with. And, the left grip screw wants to back out. I understand it's not uncommon.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with this gun. I'll need a holster and a second magazine.... I know, good luck on the magazine.
I expect that this BT380 will be in my stable for quite a while.
