I have a Seecamp .380 which I acquired six or seven months ago. I guess I was lucky, as I was browsing Gunbroker, found a nib one, and bought it for a very good price. Had been looking for one for all of two days.
Didn't shoot it for a while, but when I did I had no malfunctions with Hydra Shok ammo. I did get the devil beat out of my trigger finger, but not quite as much as I do with my R9.
Anyway, I posted a brief comparison a while back, but to reiterate, I really like the Seecamp. So much so that I just got a new .32
These little guns are just so well made and ooz quality. A real pleasure just to hold. The Seecamp is definitely easier to take down and reassemble than the R9.
Now, as far as the .380 Seecamp vs the R9, it is a difficult comparison. The Seecamp is somewhat smaller and easier to carry in a front pocket holster. The R9 is chambered for the 9mm luger. I will be receiving a pocket holster for my R9 from RJ Hedley soon, so will see how the package works for me.
I feel that both are really fine pistols.
Edited - I just got the R9 out of the safe and compared it to my Seecamp .380, and there is actually less difference in size than I originally recalled. The Seecamp still feels like a better quality pistol, but not by a whole lot. Just the fit and all stainless construction make it feel like a little jewel.
