My question is, will a Glock front sight fit on a cw380? I realize that the Kahr slide has two holes, where the Glock sight has only one post. Has anyone tried this?

Never heard of anyone trying that but by golly it just might work. I don't know why it wouldn't.

Matching the height to the rear sight might be an issue. Can't say for sure.

There is an Ameriglo that's close. I think I'm going to order one and try it. If it doesn't work, I'll put it on my G33.

The single post on Glock front sights is oblong, fitting into an oblong hole in the slide, to prevent the sight from turning (http://www.tannersgun.com/glock-front-sight-installation-instructions.aspx)
You would need to create a perfectly sized oblong hole on your CW380's slide for the Glock sight to seat correctly.

Or reshape oblong sight to fit the hole in the CW380. One would have to figure out a way to keep it from turning if it ends up round.

Another solid point by Greg. I think I'd much rather mess with the sight than mess with the slide, less costly and less scary to me.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm definitely not going to mess with drilling the slide. Oh well, I'll just buy the night sights offered on the Kahr website.

I'm curious about those also. Have you tried them?

No, I haven't personally, but quite a few members here have them...I can't recall ever reading a negative comment about them.

Greg.
