I believe I have found the issue. I noticed a little pimple molded into the plastic, on the magazine follower, when going over everything. Thought it odd but didn't think of it again until I cleaned the pistol after shooting. While reloading a mag, the rim of the cartridge hung up. I need to trim this off.

Maybe-maybe not; only the last round will encounter the "bump".
Many Colt 1911 .45 mags have had such a bump for years, I have no idea why, but it should not cause an issue with the rimless .380 either. JMHO
But removing it should not cause a problem either!
