New and frustrated

Yeah, Hornady Critical Defense or any round using the XTP bullet generally works well. I carry Underwood extreme defense, I think that’s the name...the copper flute design developed by Lehigh after the extreme penetrator. As for your problem. I’m wondering if all the rounds in the mag were doing that (sounds like nosediving) or just the top rounds. I used to have nosediving issues but after breaking every thing in, including tight mag springs, it went away. Check out Magguts too, Enables you to put an extra round in your mag. Some say it improves feeding too. Good luck My P380 is one of my favorite range toys.

OP,

Dont worry. Go out, and buy 8 different boxes and/or brands of 50-round ammo. Seriously. If you bought it, you probably plan on carrying it. If you carry it, your life could depend on it.

Shoot all 400 rounds. Buy a toothbrush at Walmart or at the range. Brush out all metal shavings every 50 rounds.

End the session with 20rds of Critical Defense or Corbon Pow’r Ball.

The 20 rds of self defense should feed correctly.

The break-in period is definitely a thing with the CW380. I would get to the 200 round mark, polish the feed ramp, rack the slide a couple hundred times or more, and store it with the slide locked back for a week.

If you still have problems, send it back to Kahr. That's what I had to do,and now mine works fine.

I’ve been looking at the mouth of those Remington JHPs, 88 gr HTV (I have another box. My wife’s P238 eats those like ******* Jacks.) the mouth is about the size of the feed ramp. That and the steepness of the ramp causes the failure.

I’m off today to finish up the minimum suggested break-in.

Don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive.

My CT380 shoots most everything except WWB. Don't think I've tried Remington HP though.
It loves the Hornady Critical Defense.

I just noticed that. Too funny.

I finished the 200 rd break-in. Shot a box of Fiocchi and a box of BrassMaxx plus half of a box of PPU. All FMJ. The Fiocchi and BrassMaxx were horrible; failure to eject, failure to extract, failure to lock open, failure to go into battery and a couple of stove pipes. The PPU Shot fantastically. I finished the day with a box of Hornady Critical Defense which produce a handful of failures.

im considering senting it to Kahr.
