Corey:

I had heard about that cool serial number issued by Seecamp but did not who had been the inspired mind behind it. Congratulations!

Thanks Richard but I can't take credit for the mind behind the serial number.  It was a Seecamp forum friend of mine.  I have just been trying to talk him out of it for a while.

Corey.  Never had heard of that serial number, and you must be one good talker to talk that forum friend out of that one!  You did good!    :)     :)

Ordered a Seecamp .380 1 year ago with a custom serial number, just before they stopped taking orders.

I'm hopeing I'll get it within the next 8 - 12 months.  Time does fly, it doesn't seem like it was 12 months ago when I placed the order.

I started to do that in March of '09 and the lady at Seecamp said it would be at least 14 months, so I thought I could find one sooner.  Found one today.    :)

You're now in competition with at least two, for Seecamp .380's, unless John will part with one of his 200.    ;D

No, I really don't need a LWS 380, I do have one on order.

Congratulations on getting one for yourself.

Thanks!  I'm on the list to be called..... when Seecamp is taking orders again.  That could be a long time.  Then the wait after getting on the order list.  Oh, well.  Only time.

I'll enjoy this one until then.    :)

Yep.  At some point!  Probably, four years or more from now, when I get the one from Seecamp.    :(

I enquired about a Seecamp 380 from a shop that had a Seecamp 32 for sale.
Here was there reply
B&S Guns stocks the  32 cal Seacamp only, don't stock the 380 due to poor ammo feed problems, and super bad recoil.

Is there a bad ammo feed issue with the Seecamp 380 ?
I never pay much attention to people complaining about recoil because that is an individual issue.

I've never heard of a feed problem with the Seecamp .380.  I think as long as you use Silvertips or Hydrashocks, the recommended ammo, it will do fine.  Recoil,  I don't worry about.

Unfortunately, I have had problems feeding .380 hydrashoks to my LWS .380.  After talking with Larry Seecamp, it appears it is a rare problem but not unheard of.  My .380 is on its way back to Larry to have him take a look at it.  However, I sincerely doubt this is why your shop doesn't carry the .380's.  In all likelihood it is because Seecamp isn't taking orders right now from anyone because they are 2 to 3 years behind on production.

LAA.  Sorry to hear of your Seecamp .380 problem.  Hope it gets cleared up.  Now, I have heard of a problem and hope it is rare.  I'll be using Silvertips, so we'll see.
