Modified CT380 Project

While they are essentially the same height and length. When you factor in the width it makes a huge difference .75" vs 1.01". It doesn't seem like much but if you took a CM45 and sliced off 25% of it you be surprised how much it is. When you factor in a kydex holster my CT380 still falls under a inch in width.

In post #1, you stated "Used grip panels from a Kimber Micro .380 (sanded down from .21" to .15").

0.75" + 0.15" + 0.15" = 1.05"

The actual grip width of a Kahr 380 is about 0.78", so adding 0.15" and 0.15" would probably be about 1.08".

I am referencing the width of the slide not overall width. Concealing a .75" slide vs a 1.05" below the belt is much easier/comfortable and the grip panels are above the belt.
