Kahr P380

[joeybcdt]

I currently own a Colt Pony, smithed by Scott McDougal, Ruger LCP, S&W M&P Bodyguard. I sold my AMT Backup .380 years ago; way to heavy.

I don't like any of these .380's for varying reasons. The Glock 42 is too big for me for a .380.

Anyone have any experience with the Kahr P380? I'm looking for the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Thanks,
Joey

I have one and I really like it. Mine came with the Crimsom Trace laser and is a great pocket gun when I can can get it away from my wife. I use a Nemisis (sp) pocket holster and you can forget it's there. Easy to shoot, no recoil problems.

I don't have anything bad to say. It broke in easily, no problems from the get-go. I don't like any of the economy versions they have came out with. Stick to the original version.

Thanks,
George

I've had the P380, S&W BG380, LCP, & now the Beretta Pico pocket .380s

The P380 has the best trigger pull by far and the best sights of the four.

Unfortunately, mine required THREE trips back to Kahr before it became dependable. Stovepipe jams were its big problems. Never had a feeding problem. Just stovepipes. Very frustrating. But it never malfunctioned with Speer Gold Dot 90 grain JHPs or Corbon 90 grain JHPs.

The Kahr forum was full of others havng the same problems a couple of years ago.

I also had a K40, PM40, PM9, and CW40, and never had any problems with them.

As I say, this was a couple of years back, and they may have straightened them out by now.

Good gun if dependable.

Shot them all. I sold all my 380 s 4 years ago and never looked back until my wife started carrying. Lc380 is perfect for her with low recoil and easy slide operation but in all honesty you have shot most of the main 380s. It's a 380. It should be small and reliable. A always carry gun. Lcp or kel tec does all that for me. To me buying a really nice 380 is like buying a fully loaded 1 series bmw.

That's just me. I prefer the sig 238 to the kahr but you already have the colt. Never hurts to have another!
