KAHR P380 Bad Press…do I still want one?

IF you read bad stuff about a product why would you want one?

Who are you asking the question to? If all the bad press was believed and followed, nobody would ever own a 1911 or a Glock, the two most prolific pistols in history. The interwebz is veritably filled with bad stuff about every product ever made. And gun products are slammed HARD all the time. Come on! Bad press does not equal bad product.

Except for the Remington R51...

I have 6 Kahrs, all very reliable. Most folks who can never get them to run right aren't holding the pistol in a way it can cycle. I have large hands and had to adjust my grip to get my .380 to cycle correctly. It is 100% with a good grip. But, for many it is easier to blame the gun....

 

[CHLChris]

I was never able to get a Kimber Ultra to work (probably because of my grip), but I never had cycling issues with any of my teeny Kahrs or full-size ones, either.

I have a CW380 that's been good to me. I got 200 to 300 rounds through it and I can't recall any issues. But since I have large hands, sometimes the slide won't lock back because of my thumb hitting the slide lock.

I run power ball .380 in mine and I also have mag-guts mag kit in my mags (+1 and you keep the stock magazine look, no external extentions).

 

[CHLChris]

How many rounds have you put through the mag(s) with the MagGuts? Has it been 100%?

 

[Alfonse]

I must have close to 1000 with 2 mags with Magguts. They work as well, or better, than factory. But, they are a little more complex to take apart and clean.

 

[CHLChris]

I forgot about those. I might have to buy a couple. Then my extended mags will be 8ers and my flush mags will be 7ers. Awesome!

This is all great info.
I knew about Magguts for the M&P Shield but it didn't occur to me that they would be available for the Kahr when I buy one.
