    You're clearly more a gentleman than entrepreneur. You were supposed to grind the tips off a bunch of $2.00 Harbor Freight screwdrivers, then sell them as special $39.95 "Kahr assembly tools" to...

    It typically takes me at least 20 minutes and using every colorful metaphor I can think of in at least three languages before I can get brand-new springs to go in. C'mon Kahr, it shouldn't be this...

    Kahr .380s are known to choke on Fiocchi ammo. Apparently a case rim/extractor compatibility issue. Some members have fixed it by increasing the distance that the extractor hook sits from the breech...

    I have to replace the recoil springs in my P380 every 5-600 rounds as well. I always keep a couple of spare sets on hand, and yes it can be a real PITA to get them installed when new.

    It took literally several thousand rounds through my P380 over several years and constant parts filing and swapping before it finally got to the point where I could call it reliable. At long last...

    The OEM .380 mags are very finicky, and the 7-round ones are worse because of the movement others noticed. All reliability problems with my pistol were solved by the MagGuts kits, including the...

    Yikes. I have two PT-111s that I bought at the same time, and both have the exact same issue (no extraction and double-feeds). I sent them back to Taurus in the same package. I don't care when I get...

    I reduced the extractor tension in my P380 by clipping about three coils off the spring. Not saying that's the best course of action, but it worked for me. I also slightly rounded the bottom edge of...

    I can't comment on the CW40, but with the CW380 you mostly need to keep an eye on the springs, striker, and extractor. Also keep an eye on the frame where the guide rod contacts it during recoil as...

    Both the front and rear sights on my P380 came out easily when I removed them to sandblast my slide, and in fact after I put them back on they were a loose fit in the dovetails afterward and I had to...

    In the old days the .32 version of the Colt Pocket Hammerless outsold the .380 version better than two to one. One round more capacity, less recoil, and the .32ACP and .380 FMJ rounds are nearly...

    When I had mine I don't think the LEM trigger was available yet, otherwise I'd have changed it out for sure. Instead I carried mine cocked n' locked just like a 1911.

    I once had a USPc in .40 like the OP's, but all black. Aside from the atrocious DA trigger pull it was an excellent firearm, and very manageable with .40 defense loads. I sorta wish I still had it.

    The bottom edge on mine (purchased around 2013) was sharp and square on the bottom. I immediately knew that was a bad idea so I slightly rounded it before I even fired the first round through mine.
