    Just the other day I installed lakeline strikers in my 2 CT380s. What comes OEM on the CT380 is the original Kahr striker from years ago. Perhaps Kahr has made improvements in the MIM process, but...

    How many rounds total??

    DSK - With the Lakeline striker I seem to have 100% reliability past 100 rounds - don't know how far past yet - I've stopped cleaning one of the p380s just to do a stress test.

    Today I got to the range. New Springs 'shot in' pretty quickly. After a couple of mags working the slide was normal. The Lakeline LLC striker still worked flawlessly. I have been dry firing. And, I...

    Lakeline Strikers arrived and installed - initial impression (no range time yet)

    I am really happy to hear this. I have not had much problem with nose dives. I have had none with Hornady XTP my EDC ammo. Until the striker broke I had flawless performance with premium ammo. Any...

    Redemption is at hand.

    The little p/cw380 has 2 flaws that belong to it alone and one or two that may be shared by some other Kahr pistols (or so it seems to me).

    What is the real failure rate?

    Based on what? Number of units sold? This is likely the only data point available to Kahr.

    In these United States the largest percentage of firearms sold make (maybe) a few trips to the range,...
