New member waiting on first Kahr

[BurkeyNE]

Hello everyone,
i ordered my first Kahr, a CW380 from Bud's on Saturday. Hoping to pick it up in a couple days and fire it by the weekend. Looking forward to the conversation here.

Welcome! Love my CW380 and there are lots of helpful folks here if you have questions.

[BurkeyNE]

Waiting is the hardest part!

[BurkeyNE]

Nice surprise: got a call from my dealer over lunch today. My CW380 showed up! Love the feel, it's much better than the LCP that I used to have. Great looking little pistol, too. Can't wait to do the cleaning and take it shooting.

I like the gold ones.

Remember to give it upwards of 200 rounds to break it in and get used to it. Also don't forget a pre shooting maintenance and the same afterwards. There is plenty here on that subject.

A pocket or other type of holster makes sense soon.

[BurkeyNE]

I've got a couple of pocket holsters that held my LCP which work well. I made my own leather holster at one point but it cost a lot more to buy the leather, thread, needle, glue, etc. than the price of some decent off the shelf holsters.

No surprise there....................

No surprise there....................

Sure it was. Tracking didn't get updated on the website and I had no confirmation from Bud's that it even shipped. I was expecting a delivery much later in the week. Plus, it was my first order from Bud's. I didn't know what to expect. A nice surprise it was.

Howdy from Austin, Texas!

I was talking about...................." it's much better than the LCP that I used to have."

[BurkeyNE]

Oh that.

Just got got back from the range. First time out, I ran Horady critical defense and Fiocchi round nose. The Kahr LOVED the Hornady, no issues and it looked like smooth sailing. Then the Fiocchi. Several failures to extract in 100 rounds. Not once did the slide go into battery, in fact, I had to press the slide closed on every Fiocchi round.

Very happy with the Kahr and the Hornady ammo.

[berettabone]

I carry Hornady ammo in my MK.......................................Fiocchi ammo is very dirty, I say that because I just ran a box of Remington 115 gr. through recently, and it looked like I hadn't even shot it. I had issues with the Fiocchi ammo, besides the dirty part. FTF'S, FTE'S.............not a lot, but it happened none the less. I have never had an issue with any other ammo, so far. I still believe that it's the length that causes issues. Small firearm, a tad extra length in the ammo, can't be all good.

As you peruse the site you'll find that several members have issues with Fiocchi in Kahr .380's. It seems the Fiocchi case rim is a little thicker than others and the extractor claw doesn't hook it exactly right. I've never shot any Fiocchi in my P380 but it loves PMC Bronze, Federal, Hornady Critical Defense, and Speer.

I've been reading some of the ammo posts. Haven't seen anything regarding Herter's yet. I have a box to run through that I can post on after I've fired it.
