Lehigh defense .380 XP rounds

Has anyone recently tried these in their CW380's? I know the company does not recommend them. Just wanted to see if anyone had any good experiences.

yes I have used them in my cw with no problems.... its my carry round of choice in my lcp

I had failure to return to battery problems with them in my CW380. They cycle fine through my Ruger LCP.

No thanks, I'll stick with Hornady Custom XTP rounds. I'd have to shoot a couple of hundred rounds of that exotic stuff to trust it and that's just money down the drain.

30 perfect rounds through my LCP satisfied me that it cycles fine, but then my LCP has cycled everything I've fed it.

Thanks for the replies. I might buy a box and check them out. My CW380 has been excellent through the break in period and now eats most anything. If it goes through a box without issues I'll buy some more.

1 box through my CW380. No problems except 1st round must be slingshot in. Pushing slide release resulted in nose dive. There are other bullets my CW380 will not feed, but the Lehigh was not one of them. If I used a spare mag I would load XTP on top then Lehighs.

I'm not buying any Lehigh rounds until I see some autopsy reports. I've never been attacked by ballistic gel wrapped in four layers of denim. More people have been killed by .380 ACP ball ammo than all of the other .380 rounds put together. It was good enough for my old man and it's good enough for me.

Carry ammo for any semi-automatic pistol that you intend to defend your life with must be thoroughly tested for dependability. Even Glocks have problems with some ammunition.

It really is sad that you need to invest many dollars on first breaking in a Kahr, then finding a carry ammo you trust. I think I put over $300 in ammo through my P380 before I sold it. My brand new Glock 42 eats all the ammo I feed it. Yes it is a bigger gun, but works. My two Glock 23s have never ever, had an issue. Of course my revolvers have been 110%.

Yes Kahr will warranty a pistol, and if you push, even pay for shipping. But why is this necessary?? I have happily sold my two Kahrs. Now very set with my Glocks and Revolvers. I have never owned another Semi (except Kahr and Glock), but sure do not hear about the Kahr issues. All my Glocks have been 100% from day one.

I miss my P380 size, but will now trust my life to my G42. Something I could never do with the Kahrs. Bang must mean bang, when I pull the trigger.

I know many are happy Kahr owners. I have owner guns for 35 years. All have always worked, except.......

If you no longer own a Kahr pistol what are you still doing on the website. Go over to the Glock website and tell them about you Kahr troubles. We don't want to hear it. :p

Even Glocks? Sad Kahr has to be compared that way to Glock. 22 years with a Glock - never had had to consider brand of ammo - even G42. Always worked. My two Kahrs - always had to track which ammo I was buying, and had many issues. Sorry Kahr,

You need to catch up on your reading. The Glock 42 has had a lot of ammunition-related problem. Then there's the Gen4 debacle and the earlier kabooms with 40 caliber Glocks. Glocks are far from "Perfection" and their quality has been slowly declining.

I've fixed more Glocks than Kahrs......

I have a G26 and G19. I love them, but they cannot hide on my body like the cw380. It is that simple.
