    Bingo @Terror Wrist! I had to learn the hard way too with my P380. I find I'm lucky if the springs last 500 rounds especially if you feel the need to "break them in." Now, I leave the springs alone...

    Precision One +P is probably OK. I've shot that too. Not as potent as the Underwood. If you experiment with +P as I did hopefully you are the original owner of your P380 so you have a lifetime...

    Be careful with the +P ammo. I shot a couple of boxes of Underwood +P through my relatively new P380 several years ago and the slide failed to go into battery. The guide rod spring was getting hung...

    This is not correct. I went through two stock P380 firing pins in the first 500 rounds of ownership and thought, screw it, and just installed the Lakeline myself. The gun has been back to Kahr for...

    I have a Glock 19 and a P9. The Glock wins in terms of reliability and low maintenance. The Glock is also heavier, has a longer barrel and sight radius so you will get better groupings with it. In...

    Hi getsome. Thanks for the clarification and explanations on the trigger reset. I really appreciate Greg's detailed posts. He's helped me out in the past with my problematic P380 that has been back...

    Thanks Greg for the detailed response. If the gun is definitely malfunctioning, maybe best just to send back to Kahr as it is still under warranty?
  8. P9 is unreliable. Trigger frequently fails to arm

    I've owned a P9 now for the past 3 years or so, and I must say I've been very impressed with its reliability. Never had a misfire, in fact. Until a few weeks ago when I was qualifying for my CCW...

    Right. This is the defensive round that creates a wound channel in soft tissue with none of the downside of hollow points. Also benefits from lower recoil. They come loose 250 to a box for $87.50...

    I've been experimenting with the 56gr polycase ammo. I like it a lot so far. It runs fine in my P380. I get it from Ventura Munitions for 40 cents per round including shipping. ...

    Hey Greg,

    Thanks for the thorough response. This is very helpful! I’m also glad to hear that it is not a common type of failure. If the gun were not still under warranty I think I would...

    I would love to have bought the CW and saved $300 but I live in California so the P380 was the only option. Likewise for my P9. Thanks for the feedback dustnchips.

    P380 cocking cam spring failure

    On the range yesterday, the gun loaded the first round from the magazine normally, fired normally, and cycled the next round into the chamber properly. But the trigger did not arm (or reset) and...

    I'll chime in as well. My P380 striker broke the second time I went to the range with less than 200 total rounds fired. Of course, I had probably dry fired hundreds of times in those first few months...
  15. Reporting back

    Hi all!

    Got my P380 back from Kahr a couple of days ago and wanted to report back my experience to the forum. I should mention that when I sent the gun in, I complained about the guide rod...

    Thanks for the thread Greg. That is precisely the problem I am having. The frame of the gun has become deformed so that the guide rod does not seat properly. In the picture above, my guide rod stops...

    Greg,

    Third try's a charm! I got the slide off but not the way you described above. I did give it another try and I guess I applied at least 50 pounds of force with both hands and the slide would...

    Thanks for the post and pics Greg. I did give it one last try based on your instruction, but there is remarkably little wiggle room in this slide to play with. With the slide stop out and trigger...

    Thanks for pointing out that thread Topgun. 12 pages long will take me a while to get through, but I am already discouraged by what I see on page one. I am not going to try to modify the frame with a...
  20. Cannot get slide off P380 frame. Guide rod sticks out beyond muzzle. Help!

    Went to the range today with my four month old P380 which I have disassembled and reassembled many times. After shooting about 50 rounds, I got home and wanted to clean the gun, but this time I could...

    Hi Ray,

    I also am a relatively new owner of a CA P380. I am also completing the break in phase now and experimenting with both cost effective target ammo and optimal self defense ammo. In case you...

    Thanks all. Looks like the "don't do anything" lobby has the most votes. I have the new striker now so will reassemble this weekend. Next time I will definitely go with the Lakeline Striker. One...

    Lubricate P380 slide parts?

    So the striker broke in my relatively new P380. I had to disassemble the slide to confirm and now Kahr is sending me a new striker. In the meantime I have this pile of slide parts and springs. I like...

    Thanks Bill,

    I am aware of the Lakeline striker for $35 and considered buying one. But my gun is still under warranty so I should get free replacement parts, and second, I don't want to possibly...

    Mark,

    I am in California and just purchased a P380 recently. Of course, it is the California LCI version, the only model of Kahr 380 legal in this state. I am coming from a G19 and I really want...
