View Full Version : Will CT380 mags work in cw380?

IF they do, would a grip chop to the size of a CW work on the CT, similar to what the Glock guys do? I know you may ask "why" or "why not just get the CW" but the grip height is what makes it the hardest to conceal. The extra half inch of barrel and overall length would help with accuracy as well as muzzle flip/control. My normal carry is a Sig P320sc, but it is just too large to carry in some occasions, which is why I'm considering a small 380. I'd like to have the barrel length of the CT, but grip length of the CW. To me, that would be the perfect BUG or weapon to carry when you aren't supposed to (like in a restaurant that serves alcohol -NM is retarded in that regard) or when and need to minimize printing as much as possible. I used to own a P9, and the handle definitely printed through a t-shirt on me. The CT380 is only .1" shorter, so basically no different.

Should all work fine.

I considered this, also. Unfortunately, the serial number is right down by the butt of the grip.

I didn't think about that. The old P380s might be like the old PM9s, with the serial number right under the muzzle where the lasers cover it.

Suggest actually shooting a CW380 before you cut up a CT380. I think you might be surprised. They're lots more accurate, comfortable and controllable than you'd think for a gun in the micro class.

The CT380 is a LOT smaller than the P9! I carry my P380 a lot and wouldn't mind switching to the CT380, but I don't have the money and need other things... just spent about $900 on Wifey's G43 and extras. I thought the CT380 would be perfect for CCW and the grip is enough to grab onto and still much smaller that the other Kahrs. My normal carry pistols are the P40 or P9 with ported barrel. The CT380 is a LOT smaller than the G43, too, but Wifey can't rack the slides on Kahrs.

True if you want/need larger grip and extra round those are the CT pluses but the OP is looking to cut those down to CW length/capacity, so ...

There is nothing about the CT380 that is hard to conceal. You'll be surprised how small the gun really is. The 3 finger grip is deceptive. The gun really isn't very tall.

Carry mine in my right front pocket every day (in a Remora). It is slightly "taller" than my LCP was, but not a problem at all.
