    Default Bought Used CT380 today at Gun Show

    I've found that my CW380 has become my principle carry gun and had wished that I had got the slightly larger CT380 instead. Today, on the way out of the show I noticed a Kahr laying on a table and checked out price tag which read $248 + tax. Looked new, but dealer said it was used. I field stripped it and it had a little residue showing that it had been fired so I took the chance and bought it. Got home, did a cursory clean and grease, but fully expected to have a few glitches. However, I ran a batch of reloaded 100 gr flat points and then a box of Hornady XTP's thru it with ZERO hiccups. Couldn't be happier. After I put some more thru to be satisfied with its performance, it will become my new carry gun. It will also get a mild fluff and buff with particular attention to the striker.

    Then, I'll put the CW up for sale. When I got it I gave it the Jocko full treatment and it too has been flawless. Wouldn't you know that only this week I put a Dawson fibre optic on the CW, as I had done with the CW9, and it really improved my accuracy by being able to clearly see the front sight. Will now order one for the CT.

    Awesome report.
    The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

    Wow that's a great price! For the CT380! What Dawson front did you go with on your CW9? I've been looking into one or the Crimson Trace

    If I'm gonna tote a 9mm, it'll be the CW9.

    Carry the CT380 about 90% of the time (warm weather & shorts here), the other 10% (cool winter & jacket) it's the CW45.

    Gifted my PM9 to my oldest son several years ago.

    yah, just a tad

    I guess its a toss up, but I'd go 9 over 380 and not worry about the extra shot

    Then again, I carry a PM45!
