Hey from Ohio, just got a CW380 and waiting for snow to end so I can take her to the range,, sounds like maybe Sat. Been mostly a Glock and Smith kinda guy so this will be interesting. I have read and done the Kahr first round prep sticky so hopefully she runs well.

To answer the question I always get, ....Shrekfingers?

My wife came to me one day and asked me to fasten a bracelet, after a few frustrating minutes, I said " I cant do this with these Shrek fingers" and it stuck.
I also noodle around with the guitar so I thought it would be a cool Blues name.

**I have Shrek fingers, Flintstone feet and a Homer Simpson belly so yes I am quiet the character**

Welcome. Congrats on a great little gun.

If you're used to larger semi autos, my suggestion is grip the sh#$% out of that little CW380 when you do get to take it out. Strangle it. After you get used to it you can refine the technique somewhat. Hopefully you won't go through what I did at first, with jams that turned out to be limp wristing.

Will be interested how Shrek fingers and Kahr trigger interact. Will be different from S&W (unless talking revolver double action) & Glock.

Thanks for the heads up.. use to own a PPKs and shot well with it. Before we went to Glocks we carried the S&W 645 and switched to Glocks so since I carried a Glock on duty I kinda floated to a 27 in retirement. Since then I have acquired a 9mm Shield, s&w 9mm Compact, so this Kahr will be a change for sure.

Welcome! I have had a few nice smiths, currently own a shield in 9mm. When I was looking for a tiny gun I almost went for the bodyguard380. It seems none of the tiny guns have decent ergonomics compared to the kahrs! The shield is an awesome gun, bg not so much. Tried most of them, settled on the kahr. Mine has run well since day 1, but it did loosen up a bit. Have fun!
