If it was limp wristing causing the jams, it would probably do that with two rounds, too.
So, it's maybe not that.
Generally speaking, most jams can be traced to magazines, extractors, ejectors and ammo.
Clean everything thoroughly, maybe even take the extractor out of the gun and clean the slide area under it.
And definitely try different, preferably more powerful ammo.
.380 is noted for being kind of on the weaker side due to all the types and ages of pistols that can chamber it.
