There is something about 380, in my opinion, that makes it difficult to design around. Those old big heavy Walther PPK's seem to always have a good reputation, but the smaller designs always seemed to struggle to cycle reliably. There's a lot of recoil in a 380. I always sigh when I hear a man buying a little 380 for his wife. It's the worst possible choice in my opinion and shows an ignorance of physics. Automatics suffer from "limp wrist" already. If an inexperienced shooter isn't gripping the diminutive, lightweight 380 firmly, it's likely to malfunction.
I have no experience with the Glock, so don't take this as criticism of their platform. I agree with above, the forums tend to be magnets for complaints about guns, gun models, gun manufacturers, etc. You have to take that with a grain of salt. If your gun is running well, don't buy into internet woes that disagree with what you are actually seeing in the real world.
By the way, I know a couple of surveyors here in Texas.
