Someone gave me a Jennings Bryco 38 380 without magazine.
So when I bought a magazine, I had money invested.
I have tested it for overloads, with other pistols that I have had to pay money to get.
I find there are different classes of 380s, given case support, chamber wall thickness, recoiling slide and maybe barrel mass, recoiling slide friction and hammer cocking force, and recoil spring force.
1) wimpy class 1.5X published loads
a) Kel Tec P3AT 380
b) Ruger LCP 380
2) medium class 2X published loads
a) Jennings 38 380
b) Kahr P380 380
3) Heavy duty 3X published loads
a) Beretta 1934
b) Husqvarna - Colt 1907
