For the first 100 rounds I used Winchester 95 grain Flat Nosed rounds. Had about 7 failures to fully load next round with most happening during the first 50 rounds.
The second 100 rounds did not go as well as the first 100 rounds. Bought different ammo to see if my few failures to go into full battery may have been due to the flat nosed ammo used during the first 100 rounds. This time I started with a box of Perfecta 95 grain FMJ. Unfortunately these always failed to load properly. Each round always had issues loading properly and I had to fiddle with each round. The second brand I tried was Tula 95 grain FMJ in steel cases. Kahr says not to use steel case ammo but these ran the best to date in my CW380. I did have a few rounds that failed to go into full battery but not as many times as the flat nose ammo did during the first 100 rounds.
I still like this gun very much for what it offers:
- Great size and weight for pocket carry
- Nice stippling on front and back of grip
- Very nice wide trigger, clean breaking, long pull but not too heavy
- No external safety
- Slide locks open after last shot
- Steel magazine
- Extremely accurate for such a small gun
- Decent sights for such a small gun
- Mild recoil for such a small gun
- Hands felt fine after 100 rounds
- Slide always locks back after last round
- No spent case ejection issues
- Easy takedown and cleaning
- Made in the USA
After reading many posts on this forum I will try some of the ammo brands/types others have had success with. The ammo I used during the first 200 rounds was just the easiest to aquire in my area. If I can find the right ammo so that the gun is 100% reliable then I will be a happer camper. If not, will need to look for a better pocket carry option.
