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...
Lakeline striker
MagGuts kits
Galloway striker guide
Adjust extractor clearance
Polish feed ramp
Those are the things I did to mine to improve reliability. Not counting the 5-year ordeal to...
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...
If you look back at all of my posts you'll see I've become quite an expert in Kahrs and light firing pin strikes. I literally spent several years trying to solve a persistent LFPS issue with my P380,...
Well, I was getting close to getting it, but when I went back to the LGS today it was gone. I asked them if they're going to order another one and they said they held onto the old one for far too...
People are probably too busy with the pre-holiday rush to go out shootin' or come here posting. Just to keep this gun-related, knowing how many crazies are out there this time of the year I've been...
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.
I'm less worried about extractor problems than I am light firing pin strikes, which have long plagued my P380 and are a lot harder to solve. Last week at the range I had another one, although it...
A local gun shop has a CW380 for sale at a very attractive price. I was thinking about getting it as a spare to my P380, but then I decided I didn't want to spend another year or two and thousands of...
I have two Taurus PT-111s that need to go back to the mother ship (I haven't been having much luck with firearms lately). I'm more worried about the packages getting lost/stolen at this time of year...
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.
...
The problems and known fixes have been out for awhile now. Kahr needs to address them. The CW380 would be the most kick-ass pocket .380 out there if only 95% of them worked flawlessly out of the box....
Pretty sad when something like this is actually considered a pleasing range session. These things should be working right straight out of the box like most every other gun design out there. What are...
Exactly the reason why I decided to waste four years of my life and thousands of rounds of ammo getting mine to run right instead of just throwing it into a deep lake. I even bought a Ruger LCP to...
Okay, mine is a Tuff Products "Jr. Roo" size 17, specifically sized for the P380. I've been using it for a couple of years now and so far it works great.
