Just got my p380 and right out of the box the rear site fell off. Kahr said they would fix it in 5 days, 3 weeks later I got it back. Jams and fails to feed or fire. Just like the glock 22 I sent back. I use the same ammo I use in my Xd and my beretta 45. that should clear up the limpwrist answer as well as the ammo. Glock and Kahr P.O.S.

@ pinscherpower

So you get two pistols with some of the highest reputations for reliability .. but they both fail for you, and you just happen to like XD and Beretta more anyway.. ??

coincidence ?

[kai199191]

why a chinese guy? Finally chinese made guns in usa.....

[GunWebsites]

learn what you are talking about before you speak...

[BigSean1992]

Don't like the looks oh kahrs and hate the price, was there supposed to be audio with this?

[GunWebsites]

audio works for me..

[SuperRip7]

Koreans make great guns

[hohohehe123456]

Is it just me or for the safety did he say DOWN for safe and UP for fire??

[nelsonboy707]

That .380 he mentioned at the end, with an external safety and camber indicator is list as CA DOJ approved for sales. One of those little beauties is high on my list of wants. Thanks for the post.

If you want a good .380 then you should but a Ruger LCP I bought one 3 weeks ago, only fired about 100 rounds through it, but no jams and good accuracy! Also light weight and highly concealable.

[pinscherpower]

@dphitch I just can't swallow that. That's why you pay 500 or even more to get something to depend your life on. I just dropped that p380 off to my gunsmith to try and speed up that (breakin) stage. I told him to cut, grind, sand, weld, polish or what ever it takes to get that pistol to a reliable state. He showed me a artical about these new pocket guns. LCP, Keltec, desert eagle, Kahr, and yes even Sig. They all are having these problems.

[dphitch]

Kahr states that their pistols need a break in period of around 200 rounds, and this is true of just about any new automatic pistol. You might get one that functions perfectly from the get go but usually you need to run some rounds though to loosen it up and figure out what ammo works best with your pistol. I have a Para like this, it took about 100rds before it smoothed out and I realized it liked Glaser Powerball rounds the best and it would jam with Hornady FTX's.

[dphitch]

I agree, the Kahr is a higher quality pistol, nicely made but expensive, if you have the money its great but you have to be realistic for what a pocket .380 is going to be used for - close quarter, last ditch defensive point shooting. The LCP and Keltec are reliable and fill that role just fine for someone on a budget.

[pinscherpower]

Let's put it this way. If springfield made a xd 380 I would have bought one. I know Beretta makes one, but there too big for light carry. That's why I turned to Kahr. I won't do that again.
