CT 380 - Clicking trigger noise with no round in chamber

[Geo]

I just got my 2nd CT380 and it will “click” when I pull the trigger (no rounds in mag) - even though I have not racked the slide to compress the trigger spring.

I disassembled the firearm and compared it side-by-side with my other CT 380...traced the noise to the cocking cam. Swapped the slide assemblies and the noise continued with the different slide in place.

After pulling the trigger and holding it, I can press the cocking cam with my finger (with slide off, of course) and it will “release” and roll forward. The clicking is caused by the cam rolling upward from the trigger pull and hitting the bottom of the slide, then releasing forward.

Called CS and was told the tolerance/length of the trigger bar allows the cocking cam to make this noise - and that it “is not a problem”. None of my other Kahrs do this; I have a P380, K9, PM9 as well. They all just pull silently with no clicking. I hate to admit it, but I have not even fired this gun yet to see if it functions normally. Hope to do so this weekend.

However, it seems “quirky” to me - so I thought I’d ask the collective wisdom of this forum for your thoughts. Perhaps I’m concerned about nothing?

I guess I could try ordering and installing a new trigger bar...

What say you, All?
