Update 4/26: I shot 100 rounds of WWB flat-nosed 95 gr. FMJ ammo with zero malfunctions last week.
Update 5/3: I shot 100 rounds of 90 gr. PMC FMJ and had 3 FTF and 2 stove-pipes this time around. I was expecting to have no issues with this ammo? I will throw some of the same PMC down range next week after a cleaning and further polishing to see if maybe my pistol prefers other ammo.
I will re-iterate how much I like the trigger on the CW380 compared to any of my prior 380's.

Hi everyone,
I just want to add my experience with my new CW380. I initially prepped it per Jocko's recommendation thread.
I only had some WWB flat-nosed 95 gr. FMJ ammo. I heard some people have had issues with the flat-nosed ammo in the Kahr 380's so I was a bit apprehensive about using it.
My first magazine had 2 FTF's. The second magazine had one stove-pipe.
After that I didn't have an issue as I put 100 rounds down the range! My accuracy wasn't the best; but I was in a rush and just trying to do some initial break-in the range. The Kahr trigger on this tiny pistol is a dream.
I would like to say that this is the best .380 I have shot so far and will hopefully serve me well in the summer months. I previously had a Diamondback DB380 that was a POS jammo-matic even after a trip back to the factory; will never buy from them again. I also have a LCP that has been nothing but reliable; however I don't like the trigger, the lack of slide lock after the last round, and the awful sights.
This is my second Kahr. I also have a CM9 that coincidentally had the same issues in the first few magazines but has been problem free for 600+rounds so far.
Sorry for the long winded thread. This new .380 wasn't my first Kahr and won't be my last.
