Kahr P380

[@palletjack612]

Thank you! Mine did require the recommended break in cycle. To finish that process I showed it this video and it ran perfectly. A positive example is always a good thing!

[@billjohnsonseattle]

Hi Hickok 45, I'm a Big fan of your videos. You are THE MAN ! One thing about the P380 that you should have mentioned is that the Kahr P380 is rated for +P ammo, unlike the LCP and most other 380's. With the Buffalo Bore +P 380 ammo the power is close to 300 ft lbs of energy with consistently higher velocities than standard pressure ammo. This puts the power up into and sometimes higher than some 38 Special +P ammo ! It has size, power & reloading advantages over the 38 snubbies. Thanks again

[@jordanmolina6258]

Hey @hickok45 will an LCP mag fit into the khar .380?

[@hickok45]

@bower230 , I"ve heard it's pretty good. I wouldn't want anything smaller, though. Even the little difference between the Kahr and the LCP makes the Kahr easier for me to handle.

[@BatColonyEvictor]

I carry a Kahr CW380 daily and it is a fantastic gun! The trigger is butter smooth, the recoil is negligible, especially compared to other popular 380's, and it is very accurate. Reliability has always been great. No issues, right from the box.

[@Tgray2064]

First time KAHR owner. I bought the CW380 on a whim one day at my local gun shop because the size was perfect for CCW pocket carry. Once I got home, I started reading and watching all of the negative reviews. I was very disappointed UNTIL, I went out and started shooting it. I did clean the gun as I do with all guns when I buy them, before I started shooting at the range to see how miserable this thing was going to perform. To my surprise, I have now shot hundreds upon hundreds of rounds with various ammo, 720 rounds to be exact, and I have yet to this day had one single FTF, stove pipes, jams of any kind. Maybe I should play the lottery if I’m that lucky to get the only KAHR CW380 that actually works as it should, and can trust it, especially considering it’s a self defense weapon😀. Honestly, I’m a glock guy, but I just didn’t like the size of the 42 for pocket carry in the summer months for example. This gun was bought was pretty recent, since August 2018, so maybe they listened to their customers and finally fixed their issues. I’ve been in the automotive manufacturing business my entire adult life, and earning your customers respect is crucial to your success, by building a quality product at a competitive price. Hopefully KAHR gets their act together, and starts building their reputation back up. But that’s difficult to do in this day with all the public opinions so easily available such as KZbin. Anyways that is my personal experience, and two cents. Happy shooting to all.

Very smooth trigger and surprisingly accurate for a pocket.

I have a p380, great gun. I have found that if you have a gun that needs to be broken in, just lock the slide back and throw it in the safe for a few days, it will save you some ammo and money trying to break it in. My P380 would jam as soon as i got it, i locked the slide back for 3 days and now it runs like a sewing machine.

[@randallscott-key802]

I tend to think of factory recommendations to "break a gun in" by shooting x-number of rounds is a way of shifting potential QC problems onto the consumer with the knowledge that many people who purchase guns never even shoot them, of those who do, if the gun malfunctions, most will end up either putting on a shelf for later, or trading it off to someone. My experience with Kahr's P380 CA model is that it's an outstandingly build pistol of superior fit and finish, and remarkable design. In fact, I'd say Kahr's basic design has it hands down OVER Glock in the trigger department, and due to the compact internal layout, if Kahr ever gets around to doing a full-size double-stack of similar size to the G17, the thing will probably hold 20 shots standard capacity! I actually prefer the cam-action of the Kahr's trigger - it's non-loading, and amazingly light - almost feel like I need a stiffer trigger if anything. As a result the P380 is basically the smallest, and lightest semiautomatic pistol I know of - maybe Kel-Tec has something a bit lighter, but not much. The thing that keeps Kahr Arms from being Glock Perfection is quality control. When I pull a Glock out of the box I EXPECT it to function 100% right out of the box! Anything else happens and I'll be in stunned disbelief. That's the way Glocks hit the American market over 30 years ago, and that's the reputation they've built that led to being the most widely used semiauto handgun. If Kahr could get that right, they already have the rest of the it figured out. My P380 arrived looking super-sweet and clean. I quickly discovered it simply didn't want to feed, and on the few times it did, it didn't want to eject cleanly. Completely UNLIKE myself, I decided for once to follow the manufacturer's directive to just shoot the hell out of it and it would work itself out. (Even though having been building my own guns for the last 40 years I already know wasting ammo in pursuit of reliability is a fool's game. The right answer is to FIND the problem and correct it.) So I shot the gun a few more times with different ammo, even went so far as to disassemble it, and with a cartridge case inserted in the chamber, work the rim up behind the extractor to lock, then unlock, and repeat about a billion times. Unfortunately the quality of Kahr's CNC machined steel parts did not lend itself to any sort of observable wear that loosened anything up. I mean I KNEW the problem was the extractor was simply too tight. It could not be budged by a fingertip, and due to it's excellent design that extends down to capture the cartridge rim as early as possible, "tight" was something it didn't have to be. Eventually, I gave in and pulled the slide cover and examined the extractor spring and lo and behold the tiny coil spring was so over-long that when compressed under the slide cover it formed a near solid! There was no amount of shooting that was EVER going to "break that in!" So, I snipped a few coils - maybe 1.5, and put it back together. INSTANTLY all problems with feeding and clearing the ejection vanished like a bad dream! Since that moment the little P380 has proven to be a100% performer! So why did it leave the factory with the wrong length spring? Clearly there are holes in the final assembly process which I suspect is due to Kahr thinking every gun should leave the factor with TOO much spring tension everywhere rather than not enough. That's great. Everywhere BUT the coil spring which must NOT be compressed to a solid column if you want the extractor to work properly. The extractor that clearly the designer took great pains to make better than other designs only to be let down by the assembly workers. Now with all THAT sorted out, I love my P380! did removed the CA-mandated chamber loaded indicator and grind away about half the tang that extends down over the breech-face so that it only sticks up a little bit when chambered instead of jutting skyward like it's competing with the Burg Khalifa. I actually LIKE the top-mounted LCI because it's both a visual and tactile device that in no way hampers function. Even though I developed a workaround procedure for removing the slide without using the orange plastic faux magazine, I finally decided it was time, and pulled the magazine disconnect spring out, but left the disconnect arm in place unchanged as it maintains spacing on the cam pin, and causes no problems other than the need to remember to press it down slightly when placing the slide back on the frame.

[@jasonholland8392]

It appears we’ve had the same experience with the P380CA. I actually removed the mag disconnector. Did you see the scheme a Kahr followed to hide the spring in that tiny chamber at the back of the grip? The lower end loops around a pin That extends between the two polymer walls. The top of the spring, which you disconnected, has to be fed through a hole in the frame under the cocking cam to hook on the disconnector arm. If I had to put the mag safety back in it will take a miracle to fish that spring through the hole and reconnect it. You had a valid point regarding the spacing on the cam pivot pin after removal of the disconnect mechanism. I was afraid of that myself, but the spring between the cam and ejector makes up for it. The spacing may occasionally affect the trigger reset but only when no magazine is inserted. Once a loaded mag is inserted everything is tight and the trigger resets every time. I stored that orange plastic fake mag in case a future buyer insists on having it. The same applied for the weird trigger lock.

I walked into a gun store many years ago and wanted a diamondback 9mm, the guy behind the counter showed me the diamondback and said he had this P380, I put both in my hand and boy did that Kahr feel good so I bought it and carry it in my front pocket with a pocket holster, that’s how I like to carry. I bought a Kimber ultra crimson carry ll, added trijicon night sights, was a sweet pistol. Was a marathon breaking it in, Kimber calls for 900 rounds, kahr was 300 rounds. The kimber is a match grade .45 and that little 380 was prob more accurate so I shelved the kimber and carried the P380. It’s by far my fav CCW. Craigslist deals, motorcycle rides etc. it carries great and is comfortable. Looks like a smallish wallet in the front pocket. I also found unless the pistol is really comfortable I don’t carry it as often. I can easily carry the kahr daily with no probs. I am trying to stop the threat, I don’t need a pistol that will go threw a concrete block and pass threw someone. A .380 is plenty to stop the threat. A .22 mag is enough. If I can get away, that’s all I need to do. I would much rather the perp to live but I won’t feel bad if they don’t make it. Can’t say I’m out for blood or over kill with a .380 lol.

Body guard was my second choice. Reason I bought the CW380 was for the awesome trigger action and reliability. Bodyguard seemed to have a tighter trigger and I like it smoother. Will likely add a laser (Crimson Trace) later on but that can wait. BG is no longer offered with laser as the on/off switch just wasn't practical for tactical emergency situations. I've shot about 200 rounds through the CW380 with no problems at all. Takes about that many rounds to actually have it broke in properly. Besides, you shouldn't be carrying anything without having put that many rounds through your weapon anyway so it is a win-win situation.

You've probably been told this numerous times by commenters on this video, but apparently glock does make a .380 handgun, the glock 28, it's just not available in the U.S due to import restrictions in the gun control act 1968, in particular the "points system" that only lets your gun be imported if it doesn't have a certain number of features like small caliber/barrel and small size. Therefore these types of guns have to be made in the USA.

alfred vozzella I had a karh p380. I had nothing but problems with it past the break in period. Failure to feed issues constantly. It did a little better with round tip lead rounds but still jammed up a lot. But most people want a defense round while carrying a 380. I got the pm9. This gun has run all sorts of ammo defense and regular rounds. Over 5000 rounds never one malfunction. What I have noticed is the 9mm round is pointy and sits higher up on the feeding ramp. The pm 9 came out first then the 380. It seams they took the 9mm model and made the 380 model without considering adjustment necessary to make the 380 reliable like the 9. The shape of the 380 is more round and makes it sit lower on the feeding ramp. They need to adjust the design so the round points slightly more vertically and sits higher up on the feeds ramp. It’s a shame because it has such a great potential to be a great gun

[@boostimalaka1]

I have experienced malfunctions with the Winchester white box ammunition with the flat profile only. It is reliable with Federal American Eagle and other FMJ ammunition. I use the Hornady XTP bullets for self defense use. I recently switched to the Underwood XTP +P load. The Kahr P380 is rated for +P ammunition. I own other .380 pistols and this is my carry pistol. It is accurate and find that the trigger is very smooth. I also own the PM9. I only experienced light primer hits with some steel case ammunition.

While I don't think there are a lot of people with self-defense experience, I think there is some individual incident data available about the effectiveness of various calibers.

If I knew I would be in a gunfight, I would have my Mossberg 500 Pump-Action shotgun with six rounds of 00 Buckshot and S&W 627 Performance Center 357 revolver with eight rounds. But I would be very obvious walking around.

The cw380 seems like it has all of the really practical features from the kahr lineup, the trigger, the size, weight, and sights, without all of the features that add to specialness, like nicer engraving, improved rifling, driftable front sight, milled parts, etc. I put the sig p238 in the same category. You don't buy the sig because it is the best pocket rig. You carry it because you want a pocketable size rig in a high end design. It is specialness, which I am OK with, but completely understand why people forgo the p238's and the p380's because they can get shootability and practicality for half the cost. It reminds me of the iphone vs android endless debate. IOSers get off on the specialness and perceived quality, while androiders get off on the bang for the buck usefulness.

What incredible shooting...hitting an 80 yard gong with anything in .380 ACP is impressive, let alone out of this Kahr and its miniscule barrel.

+Hickok45 Do you still have the article you wrote for this gun? Any chance you could post it on your blog and offer a link up? Interested in this gun and I like reading. :)

@idfsense , Thanks.

I got the P380 and on your recommendation Balistolled it. On the second shot the pistol just went pop and the gun locked up. There was no hole in the Remington primer pocket. The cartridge was forced forward blowing the side panel off. I cleared the stuck round from the barrel thinking I had ruined a brand new gun. Nope. Except for that cartridge failure it has never failed to feed, fire or eject. Maybe the exploded primer expedited the break in period. I don't know.

I heard u can put a 1911 extender clip in a khar 45 u should try it

[@groovegentry4824]

I feel as if this is the best .380 on the market

[@billa.2450]

The CT380 has a three inch barrel, seven plus one capacity, and grip allows full three finger hold. it is just as easy to carry and much easier to shoot accurately. Take a look at it instead.

[@codyallen2838]

It is a great pistol.

[@TwelveBravo]

Great video hickock! Keep up the good work!

[@jackwongen6671]

Damn, Your one good shooter.

[@762girl]

Outstanding! I just got one and LOVE it! Pretty much as small as a TP22 and best DA I've felt other than my customized S&W Model 13! Recommended by a serious and active expert! Been awhile and I hope you're doing well. I like the no-edit style. btw my favorite carry is a Sig P229 .357Sig w/ CTC, and factory SRT/action mods.

[@wolfinside]

Damn fine shooting. Especially at those distances for a pistol. Especially a small pistol.
