Last 380 I saw that was impressive involved 5 grains of powder and was only done in delayed actions with total safety disclaimer.
It involved reloaded Silvertip bullets at up to 1200 fps in stuff like Beretta 84, PPK, Sig the size of PPK etc.
Now you would probably be better of with micro 9s in 1911 format rather than trying to recreate the load data in that circa 1980s article.

Thanks for the replies. Actually, it's the 9 that I'm interested in. Just curious about the reliability of this mini gun.

Thinking about one for a backup piece.
