Good Morning!
I've been reading as many posts here as I can to learn as much about my new CW380 as possible to prevent any issues. Below are a few questions that I have based on posts here, and by speaking with other Kahr CW380 owners.
1. Is there a range of years, or are there certain serial numbers that you can look at and say "OK, I'm going to have problems"?
2. Do the firing pins break/will you need to replace the striker prematurely regularly?
3. I was told that with the CW380 I should not dry fire or rack and release the slide without either a magazine, round, or snap cap in it. Is that true? I have a P9 too and have not heard that doing that will cause any issues.
4. Don't use Winchester White Box ammo (or any flat tipped ammo) in this firearm.
I want to have a good experience with this firearm so any accurate information provided will be very helpful. I'm replacing a BG380 with this which had a stovepipe, a FTE, a light strike, and 2 FTF's (in the first 120 rounds) and don't want to get involved with something else that I can't depend on.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
