| Didn't know they made it in 380. Is it any smaller? I'm assuming not, since the ammo is just shorter.

| Sounds like a low recoil shooter but there is not much demand for large 380 acp pistols. If people are going to shoot a less powerful round they want it to be small like a LCP. At least the CCP is smaller than the Hi-Point 380! |

I'm not so sure about that. Lately, guns like the CCP .380 and the Shield EZ .380 have seen a rise in popularity among an older crowd and women who don't have the hand strength/coordination to rack a traditional slide. And ... at 61, I'm also looking down the road at similar circumstances as I continue to age. As they say, the alternatives are less favorable.

Then there came the CCP M2 in 380. the Range opened up today and I took it for a shoot...wow! No felt recoil! easy to shoot accurately at 10yrds and 15Yrds; only eight rounds per magazine; But after 200rounds of ball fmj, I declare it a winner for me.
Anyone have a similar experience?
Glad to hear you like your new pistol and hope you continue to enjoy it. The low recoil and light racking force related to a 380 chambering address issues that limit a number of people's gun ownership. The piston system is intriguing because it allows a lower bore axis and a fixed barrel as compared to the Browning system. I found those features desirable in my P7. |
