I have a cousin of that Lorcin 9, a Davis Industries P380 (as well as a D32 .32 mag derringer) both purchased in the mid-90s. The only kind things I can say about the P380 is not once has it ever choked on anything and it's chrome finish is holding up quite well. I probably have less than 400 rounds through it (and less than 100 out of the D32) but some of those were Hansen 95gr JHP, so not all were the nice feed-friendly FMJ.
The bad, where do I start? 400 rounds has completely stripped out the rifling of the P380 to the point where it resembles something with trace polygonal rifling... but more of a smoothbore look. The barrel is the hardest and strongest part of this pistol and it's about shot out.
The D32 was advertised with a PTFE (Teflon) black finish that has since bubbled and sloughed off. The cross-bolt safety fell out after the retention ball bearing striped its way out of the retention divot. Now there's a hole where the safety was. The trigger pull about requires a team of mules.
Both still fire and I guess that was the whole point.
Blowback is an abusive action better suited to steel, decent alloy or polymer frames. The .380acp is about the cusp of what the Zamak can handle in a blowback. Though beefed up, I don't think the Lorcin 9 will have any appreciable lifespan. If it makes it to 1k rounds without major parts breakage, consider yourself lucky. Of course, that's not what it was intended for. Lorcin Engineering Co. was well aware someone purchasing such an inexpensive pistol likely wasn't financially able to put a substantial amount of ammunition through it. Perhaps a few magazines to function-fire at most.
They and their ilk filled a niche. Unfortunately, due to the incredible numbers they churned out and the demographics of their intended market, a noticeable percentage found their way into the wrong hands and wrongful death lawsuits drove Lorcin to bankruptcy. I believe that was the fate for many manufacturers of inexpensive pot-metal pistols.
