Bought a new RM380 Micro for my wife four years ago. I am very displeased with the pistol. The trigger pull is very long and only breaks very near the rear of the trigger guard. In fact, so near, that I have to have my finger positioned jusst so-so or I cannot get the trigger to break. I swear that I am pressing my fingerprint on the back edge of the trigger guard. This would render the pistol as unreliable at the most pressing time of emergency.
I shelved the pistol and bought her a Ruger LCP-II 380. The trigger pull distance is much more nice.

Funny this has come up now. I just bought a RM380 as my pocket 380. My preference is a hammer fired model and it was between this and a SW bodyguard.
Originally had a Beretta pico which was a great shooter but I didn’t quite like the grip but handled it fine. My main issue was the mag release. It sucks and I do like paddle releases.
Looking forward to trying it out next week.

From SHOT 2007. I asked the guy why they didn't checker the frontstrap and he said the frontstrap lacked sufficient thickness.

Well, if any pistols need it, it's stuff like yours and the Seecamp stuff.

I have thoroughly researched available .380 ammunition and say without reservation that if your pistol will function reliably with Horandy XTP, that's what you should use, along with Hornady's equivalent American Gunner loading. As far as I can determine, the only difference between the two loads is packaging and price.
Hornady's FTX load lacks sufficent penetration, which is a very critical factor when it comes to .380 defensive ammo.
I don't normally recommend fmj loads for defensive use, but if your pistol won't run with hollowpoints, take a close look at Black Hills' 100 grain load. The heavier weight of the slug makes it less stable, and this load has a tendency to tumble in ballistic gel, which is an effective disruptor of tissue in the human body, or at least more so than the standard 95 grain .380 fmj stuff.
Adequate penetration as well, without overpenetration.

Not having to change your recoil spring every 200 rounds is a bad thing?
