Best Answer

A hammer hits the explosive cap after you cock it and pull the trigger. The cap blows up, igniting the gunpowder. Then, the expanding gases push the bullet down the barrel of the pistol.

Do 380 auto pistols jam more frequently than larger caliber guns?

No. There are many low-quality pistols in .380, but this is not related to the caliber. If it is a reliable model, it won't jam more than any reliable larger caliber. Badly designed and sloppily made pistols will jam, quality pistols will work perfectly. For instance, SIG Sauer P230 is chambered in .380 and is one of the most reliable pistols out there.
