While firing, no matter what ammunition I use it occasionally doesn't re-cock the hammer. It ejects and loads the next round just fine, but about one per magazine or so (7 rounds) it will give me a double action shot. I can't have that in a carry pistol, so it was relegated to the back shelf of the gun safe for fixing "some day."

Does any body have any bright ideas of where to start?

edit: It is a stainless .380 model
Just a thought, could it be that you are not letting pressure off the trigger quickly enough? That could allow the hammer to follow the slide down without firing the next round.
