My wife and I have been very satisfied with our two LC380s. She bought hers 6 years ago and I got mine about a year ago.
My wife had extensive hand surgery in 2012 and had to give up her preferred 357 magnum revolvers. She chose the LC380 as her defensive pistol after finding my then-new Shield's recoil to be excessively painful. While she regularly shoots a .22 pistol, even .380 recoil is often painful and her practice with the LC380 has been limited.
I quickly found my wife's LC380 was extremely easy to shoot well.
My neighbor, who is a burly retired federal agent, bought an LC9s for deep concealment; he normally carries .40S&W subcompacts. When he saw my wife's LC380 at the range, he made fun of the caliber because he thinks even 9mm is marginal. After some big talk on his part, I shamed him into trying the LC380. He was stunned at how much more accurately he could shoot it than his 9mm. He was also surprised that the LC380, with its "miles-long" DA trigger that he had trash-talked, could be shot faster with accuracy than his LC9s with its short striker-fired trigger.
Last year I found a NIB LC380 for a really low price and bought it to carry when my wife and I are together. After initial reliability testing, I have mostly shot it with steel-cased ammo. The steel-cased ammo has shown no difference in reliability and the gun has shown no difference in wear compared to other ammo.
Somewhere between 750 and 1,000 practice and self-defense rounds have been through my wife's LC380 without any problems. My LC380 has fired 200 brass-cased and 600 steel-cased rounds without any problems. None of our six magazines have had any sort of difficulty.
