Strange P380 Problem--Dead Trigger

[Wlfman13]

Aww, man! I really thought new recoil springs might correct the issue, since they have corrected my issue twice.

I hate that it will now take longer to get it fixed than it would have if you had just sent it in with the original RA.

I would love to know what was wrong, once Kahr fixes it, but I don’t expect that they will provide details on what needed to be repaired.

And, just like that, my chance of being the smartest man alive is gone.

Me too, on all counts.

It was a noble effort and I thought a winner though four mags.

You were right about the press check, though. Every time it failed I pulled the slide back just a bit, heard a click as the trigger reset, and was good to go 'till the next failure.

I still can't get my head around this failure. It must be a timing thing where the feeding of a round is accomplished, but the resetting of the trigger is not.

I've stared at the animated graphic above in this thread for a long time.

Again, I can't imagine how that could be...

The P380 has left the building and is on it's way back to Kahrville.

Godspeed tiny pistol...

My thanks as well.

The Eagle has landed.

Countdown to repair and return begins.

Tick, tick, tick...

Just got word that my P380 is due back to me via Fedex on the 24th.

I think that is 20 days door to door.

Not too bad. I hope to get a decent report about what they did to fix it.

The pistol is home.

Kahr says, and I quote:

Problem reported: "TRIGGER DOES NOT RESET NEW SPEC EJECTOR.."

Action taken: "POLISHED EXTRACTOR, REPLACED TRIGGER BARR, TESTFIRED"


Any of you gunsmith types know if such repairs seem appropriate for the original problem I posted about?

Too rainy to test fire here today. Tomorrow maybe...

It's my "Bubba/kitchentable" opinion that replacing the trigger bar is very appropriate to your original problem.
Polishing the extractor should help with feeding and help ensure that your gun is going completely in to battery (being out of battery can disconnect the trigger).

Thanks for the info.

As soon as our 40 days and 40 nights of rain have passed I'll give it a try. I hope I can get the unicorns up the ramp this time...

My repaired Kahr P380 worked perfectly yesterday at the Fawn's Butt Rifle range.

I only had about 45 rounds to fire, but they all went boom (especially the one where I forgot to put my ears on. My left ear is still ringing 24 hours later).

Damn...
