Wolff state's that their Kahr striker spring does not work in a 380, but I have seen conflicting reports on here :confused:. Will it work in my CW380?

The 9mm striker spring will work in P380 the but the difference in trigger pull isn't noticeable.

Does this solve the light strike issue for some?

It's a lighter spring, so it would be more likely to cause light strikes, not fix them. Have you tried polishing your firing pin?

I notice a difference in the P9 I had, is it less of a difference in the CW380?

The 9mm spring is lighter than the 380? That sounds backward to me.

I haven't polished the striker, but I just replaced the striker spring. Haven't been to the range yet to see if it makes a difference.

FWIW, I put the Wolff striker spring in my CW380 and CW9 and couldn't really tell any difference in pull, nor have they caused any issues with ammo. I've shot a lot in both of these using factory and lots of my reloads with Win, CCI, and Federal primers. It was a rarity to have one fail to fire. Frankly, I think you're wasting your time putting in the Wolff spring.

The wolff spring is lighter to lighten the trigger pull, the striker spring weight should be about the same regardless of caliber. Lighter spring give a somewhat lighter trigger at the cost of lighter strikes. You need to test with your carry ammo and follow up from time to time.
