Opinions on the cw380

[vinnier6]

I too liked the size of the CW380, It just dissapeared in my front pocket as a backup gun. However on my first range trip my left hand is brusied slapping the slide back into battery after each shot. I have never owned a Karh before and I'm willing to give their CS a fair go at this as I really want to like this little backup. I guess I'm more accustomed to running true right out of the box. Time will tell, it's in Kahr's hands now. AS a side note, I read all the negitive reviews and was still willing to give it a shot, so in a way this one's on me.

I am in the same boat, I to was willing to take a chance, I love the little thing, time will tell as I just got it and haven’t had a chance to get to the range

About a month ago I bought a CW380; it's my first Kahr 380, but I also have a CM9. So far I've only put 100 rounds through it, but there have been no failures of any kind using both Winchester white box and Hornady Critical Defense. I also have a Colt Mustang XSP, and previously owned a Taurus TCP. Of all these, the Colt is the best shooting, with an extremely clean trigger, but it is slightly larger than the Kahr. The Kahr is for those times when I want to conceal a weapon in light weight clothing.

I'm please with the Kahr; no regrets.

I have 900 rounds shot in my CW380. Most are my reloads with mixed brass. The only problems I have had are with cartridge brass marked CFL. They will not chamber. I also have found this pistol to be very accurate. I shoot at 50 feet steel plates and it does as good as my PM9 as far as accuracy on the plates.

GFL = Fiocchi (Giulio Fiocchi, Lecco).

No bueno in most Kahr 380s without modified extractors.

If you want a pocket .380 to double as a range gun get a Glock 42, SIG P238 or Colt Mustang. They're stout enough for the long haul, but you'll be paying the price of additional size and weight.

Considering the trade off between concealability and range performance, which of these pocket .380 options - Glock 42, SIG P238, or Colt Mustang - strikes the best balance for someone seeking both durability and manageable size?

To me I think it depends on if you like single action or striker fired best. I have both in 9mm and for me it depends on my mood for the day.

my 9mm is the G43 and Sig P938. I think I do like shooting the G43 slightly better.

I would prefer my Colt.
