    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 to like this gun and find it trustworthy for EDC. So far I am having my doubts. The Kahr seems to be much more finicky about a lot of things like ammo and lubrication, for example. I think some of the parts are suspect as well as you will learn as you research this site. I have only been to the range twice with it with a fair bit of dry firing in between, and my striker has already failed. Broken in two as a matter of fact. Not an uncommon occurrence. I emailed Kahr and they were very quick to offer to ship me a new one. Still, not an encouraging experience for an almost new SD weapon that your life may depend on.

    I love the design and concept of the P380. It is so damn compact and shootable. I really don't mind the trigger at all as other's have complained. I would prefer a glock trigger, but the P380 is what it is and I really do like it. My only issue and concern is the reliability.

    Hi XFlyboy,

    Have you seen the improved, stronger (replacement) striker for the Kahr .380's offered by lakelinellc[dot]com?

    Supposed to prevent the broken striker you mentioned. I agree I would be hesitant about SD too but with one of these stronger strikers and after x hundreds of rounds after the replacement you could be more confident it would be there for you when you need it.

    Hope that helps! Bill

    Hello Markg,

    Welcome. I too live in Calif***ya and when I see what the corrupt, socialist politicians have done to a state I once loved, it makes me want to cry. The problem with our state is it's a test bed for unconstitutional laws and a cultural petri dish to see how far a gullible, misguided public can be sucked into a gun control black hole from which there is no return. Make no mistake, the ultimate goal in CA is total handgun confiscation.

    The 2ndA right to buy a handgun in our state is is shamelessly being taken away from you. Ask yourself, "will I be sorry I didn't buy one when I no longer can?" Other states are watching what is going on in CA and they are noticing that the CA voters are rolling over on this and hundreds of other prime examples of a nanny state running amok. What's happening here affects law abiding gun owners across the country.

    I encourage you to go ahead and buy your Kahr if for no other reason but to defiantly exercise your right to do so (like I did last month). Did I need another gun? Hell no! Remember the old Joni Mitchell song lyric "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone..."

    Oh, and with Kahr's 200 round break-in period - and needing some bullets to practice and actually defend yourself, you may want to stock up on ammo now before our mandatory ($60?) background check for ammo purchases goes into effect next year. I rest my case.
