You should try 32ACP, a cartridge that cuts deeper than 380, yet without the extra snap.

This old Colt of mine is a real pleasure to shoot. I use a 95 grain LRN bullet under 2.5 grains of AA#2. Maybe the spring is so old it's well matched to the load, not sure, but it never hiccups and spits the brass maybe a foot to the right of the gun and slightly back. Couldn't ask for a nicer shooting pistol. No snap to speak of, being all steel. It's extremely consistent at 25 yards and very accurate as long as you aim about 8 inches low.
I think the newer polymer guns, being so small and light, have a stiffer recoil spring and like a stiffer load. I have a couple like that.
