    Hope the loads work out. Easier slide movement will be the main reason for me to get the 80X instead of my 81BB. A 32 ACP version with a recoil spring a bit lighter than the 380 would be nice.

    Any updates on your 81BB vs your new 80X? I have an 81BB. Great little pistol for my wife as well. Is there any disadvantage of having an 80X instead of the 81BB? How does the recoil compare?

    If you are just pulling the trigger, not practicing reloads, a foam earplug can also work. An earplug adds an additional safety layer too if a live round is ever in the chamber.
