P380 Side Plate

[Alphonso]

The side plate on my P380 doesn't seem to fit quite right.

At the highest point on the back it seems to have popped out just a bit. I can push it in, but it doesn't catch and comes right back out.

The little torx screw is tight, perhaps even too tights as it seems to have compressed and slightly deformed the side plate a little bit.

Experiences, opinions, suggestions?

Alphonso,
I have a p380 also. It has one side plate screw on it. I was in the local gunshop yesterday looking at a new p380 he just got in, it has two screws holding the side plate down. I experienced the same issue or non-issue you had, with the plate sticking up a little. I found it a little interesting that the new one had two screws in it.
