I have several glocks and wanted to get a 380 and my buddy bought a Glock 42 and it was to big for a pocket 380 which is what I wanted.
I have been looking at getting a pocket 380 for awhile. I am trying to get my wife to carry and have been researching these for awhile. I have shot an LCP and TCP. The LCP wasn't that fun to shoot and the TCP was a no go for me. I have read about some of the problems with the kahr 380s. I couldn't find anyone who owned one so I bought a CW380 based on a few Youtube videos I watched.

I read through this forum and cleaned the gun when I got it and worked the gun before going to the range. I shot 120 rounds through the gun and had 2 FTF. I got the first FTF on the 4th round and thought uh oh! Then on the 2nd magazine, 2nd round another FTF but I realized I caused it because of my thumb was to high and rubbing on the slide.
I made a correction and it fired flawlessly after that.
I shot 50 rounds of Blazer, 50 Lawman and 20 of gold Dot. After firing the LCP and TCP this CW380 blew them away. Very accurate and fun to shoot, love the feel. I am going to run another 100 rounds through it in a few days before letting my wife shoot it.
I love this gun and hope it continues to prove itself reliable! I am glad I bought it and am glad I found this site. :)

I like a story with a happy ending. I carry a P380 as a back up to my CM9. When lightly dressed the CM9 stays home, but the P380 is always with me. I believe that the P and CW380 are the best in class as far as pocket autos go.

Welcome and glad your 380 is doing fine. It will smooth out even more as you shoot it. Keep it clean (including the magazines) and lubed.

Damn the CW380. Kahr says it's brisk sales are what's keeping the CM45 from being produced.


I did some more searching and it looks like SOME CM45's have been sold, mostly from dealers in east to southeastern states. Published prices seemed pretty decent, ranging from a low of $334 to $400.

The Tman keep watch at sports south for whats in stock. Then have your dealer buy try them opr get on there waiting list. Were your at should not matter as our dealer here in NC has buy thru wholeslers were ever they are if they have the needed firearm. Might be a small shipping cost difference is all. But sports south is there primary supplier.

Heres one at lipsey but they don't give dealers as good a deal typicaly but don't pay attention to advertised price at ether.
