Thread: CW45 and Hornady Critical Defense ammo

    I had the same issue with the hornady. I think the kahr's have tight chambers. I have had a lot of fun reloading for both my cw45 and cw40. Some bullet shapes just would not work at all. The ones that did I really had to play with the OAL and crimp to make them work. If loaded for the kahrs the loads would run in all other guns but starting with a glock or 1911 not a chance.

    I also had problems with the Hornady. I read somewhere that the Hornady casings where just a tad larger than that of other manufacturers and because Kahr tolerances are so tight it could create a FTE or FTF problem.

    Don't us it. I had the same problem. it is a bit too tall and is only 185g. I went with PDX1 and ran 1 clip through without problems

    I use Hornaday Critical Defense ammo in my 380 LCP and 9mm LC9, but because of what's been said about it's use in the Kahr CW45 I didn't even try it. I've been shooting Golden Sabre's and Speer Gold Dots without incident.
