Bawanna, PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!
I just got back from the range, and your suggestion of dropping the slide on a full magazine instead of manually loading the first round, then dropping the slide was...
Thanks, Bawanna
Not manually loading the first round makes sense. I checked the Kahr user guide and saw your recommendation was stressed there as well. That would explain why I've had minimal...
I've had my CW380 for well over a year now, and have shot maybe 2000-2500 rounds through it. I've had most of the growing pains during the Kahr break-in period, and have done a lot of the sticky note...
Problem resolved! I didn't have a dowel rod handy, but did have the OEM recoil spring guide that I'd replaced with a stainless steel version, which of course was a perfect fit. The spring and guide...
Thanks, markman and jimbo TN. I'll give this a try. It makes sense.
Man, you guys are right! I've just been attempting my first new recoil springs replacement, and what a bear! I finally gave up and squeezed the springs along with the spring guide in a vice for a...
The dawson precision looks like what I have in mind. Any advise on which of the 3 available size options I should choose? I’m guessing the one closest to the existing Kahr original since I’m not...
Any suggestions for a front night sight for a CW380? I spoke with a Kahr service rep over a year ago and was told one would soon be available. No results so far. My failing eyes have trouble stacking...
SlowBurn, not for everybody. My CW380 is just now a year old, and even after break-in, Hornady Critical Defense jammed constantly. Only after a lot of modifications did it smooth out for EDC with...
I ordered an extractor from Kahr, and it just arrived. I'd hoped the straight, front edge would have been rounded off a bit as suggested in a previous video, but it's still straight across the whole...
Wyntrout,
I just read where Ed M recommended the same Underwood brand but with Hornady's XTP vs. your Speer Bonded JHP bullet. I'm going to order a couple boxes of each and see what happens. If...
I checked out several posts regarding the various modifications to the CW380 extractor. They seemed fairly straight forward until I removed my extractor, and realized how small it actually is. The...
What is the breakover angle?
My CW380 is nearly a year old and I'm close to shooting a 1000 rounds through it. Because of initial problems and forum member suggestions, I've replaced the factory striker and recoil spring with...
I did use the Ripley Retractor but I made the mistake of removing it before I had everything back together. I was pushing the striker spring guide in with a punch, holding the extractor pin back in...
That did the trick. Using a mini screwdriver, way smaller than the hole got it done. Now all I have to do is wait for my Kahr order of the replacement striker spring guide that shot across my...
I thought I'd follow the recommendations of many on this forum and replace my factory striker on my CW380 with one from Lakeline. I've followed the instructions to the letter, but the slide back...
I'm with you (in spirit at least). Keep going; you've come this far!
Where would I find the sticky on the extractor mod for the CW380?
When I switched over to MagGuts for my CW380 magazines, my feed problems pretty much disappeared, thanks to excellent recommendations in this forum.
Any updates on availability of front night sights for the CW380? I didn't see anything on the website.
Amen on the mag redesign. Not only did spend a lot of time and money on different ammo during and after the break-in period, I was about ready to sell the CW380 for anything I could get. Thanks for...
Guys, I think you've hit the nail on the head!!! I installed Magguts in both of my 6 round factory mags and am very pleased with the results so far. I shot my 2 loaded mags (12 rds of Win White Box...
Guys, thanks for all of your suggestions and I'll give them all a try. I just ordered the Magguts you suggested because I thought the way the mags fed the rounds could be the main issue. I am used...
I just got my CW380 back from Kahr this afternoon do to failure to feed and failure to lock back on the last round issues. Before I returned it I shot at least 350 rounds through it, and no ammo...
