I like mine. It doesn't like FTX or HST bullets but it functions every time with Gold Dot. And my handloads, too. I'd buy another as it fits where most others wont. Cargo shorts, jeans, slacks. It's a great BUG.
Did you have a break in period with it? How old is your's? Maybe the newer ones had difficulty? Thanks.
Any thoughts on the Seacamp 380? Thanks.

I have carried the CT380 Kahr for several years now and carry Gold Dots and 100% reliable. It did require about 2boxes of ball for break-in. I've had Colt Gov 380 require 4+ boxes for break-in and Walther S&W PPK require several boxes for break-in. I prefer the Kahr over the little Sig and intend to eventually try the Kahr CW380 which is a little smaller than the CT. My experience with small 380's is that price has little to do with reliability or break-in.Did you have a break in period with it? How old is your's? Maybe the newer ones had difficulty? Thanks.
Also if I remember right Rem ball is round nose versus Win WB flat nose. The Rem was pretty reliable from the start and made break-in at the range more fun.Also, if you don't know, Kahr's are not supposed to be loaded via slide sling-shot and only use the slide-release method, their manual states so on page 16...

Bottom line Kahr's are tiny, if you want one be sure to break it in will ball ammo while using the slide release, maybe you'll score.
Lazy carry is an excellent description...I rock a Ruger LCP in the summer in a Winthrop OWB leather holster. It's easy to carry with a light shirt hanging over it. Disappears on my profile. I tend to forget I have it in me. Though I know it is always there. It's been reliable as well, so far it has eaten everything I've fed it. It usually has some Gold Dots in it as I bought a ton a while ago. I really need to research some more affective 380 for it though.
I refer to the LCP as my lazy carry, as I go to it even in the winter when I prefer comfort over capacity.
I used to pocket carry it as well in a Remora Holster. Worked well in my work outfit which required my shirt be tucked in. Never printed, and never bothered me in my front right pocket.
