My new p380. Very satisfied

[Gbarber010]

I recently upgraded from a CW380 to the P380 Kahr. Before people ask, I upgraded because I just wanted to. First 200 rounds, I had a few FTE, which I believe was due to the breakin and a little me, limping. I have found the rounds it likes most the Hornady XTP rounds. I can tell by just chambering the round. It sounds smooth. Sounds better than the Hornady Critical Defense when chambering. Well today I put 50 rounds of Hornady through it which went flawless. A mixture of both the Hornady XTP and the CD. A side note, I did polish up the outer area of the barrel which helped with the smooth action. I'm very pleased with my P380. Note my CW was also flawless a after breakin.

The XTP bullet is a very good performer in .380.

Just bought some Hornady American Gunner XTP for the wife's .380.

The P380 is a little smaller than the CW model, you're gonna have to learn to shoot all over again.

Yeah, my bad, was thinking of the CT model.

Details please?

[Cogburn]

Good to hear and just stick with ammo you know it likes and above all else keep it clean.

[Gbarber010]

I polished Areas on the outer surface of the barrel and inside the slide that make contact when in operation. Seem to help with smoother chambering.

[Alfonse]

You were correct, the slide is about .050 inches shorter on the P series. That's like over a millimeter...

P380 is in my sights and congrats on your purchase!
