I am very happy to say that I put 170 rounds of assorted ammunition through my kahr cw380 today without a single hiccup of any kind!
Can you believe it I expected at least to have several failures to feed or extract... but not a single one!
I don't know if what I did contributed to the reliability or I just got a very good cw380 but overall it doesn't hurt... what I did
This is what I did to make it more reliable!
Took the weapon apart and cleaned it very well!
i re throated the chamber opening slightly wider and Polished it to a mirror shine! I also polished mirror shine the inside of the chamber so the cartridges wouldn't stick! i rounded the extractor bottom just a bit more than factory! ( there's a YouTube video on how to do this) to aid in rounds feeding! And I gave the follower a steeper angle by sanding it down! And I must have racked the hell out of it three or four hundred times before I took her shooting...
I am happy to say I shot 100 rounds of Winchester white box 95 grain TMJ truncated bullets!!!
50 rounds of Magtech FMJ Full Metal Jacket!!
And 20 rounds of Hydra-Shok 90 grain hollow points... happy to say besides the gun being very dirty it shot very well 😁 recoil is very manageable very low for me and for what I call a belly gun close range defense it's a keeper... I will shoot different kind of ammo to see if she's picky but so far everything is positive😁😁😁
ps... I checked for proper primer strikes! And no sign of 380 case bulging!!!
Hopefully she'll stay 100% reliable
