Hi there, been looking everyone for one. Contacted the manufacturer, their distributors, and local gun stores. No one has this thing in stock. A local chain store has a 22 person waiting list for one.

Will purchase if you've got one, name your price.

What is special about the California version? Manual Safety?

May I ask how you found this in stock anywhere, let alone at the cheapest price? I couldn't find any by Googling

Also, if this website is legit and it's truly in stock, thank you!

Did you identify any backup sites? In case this one doesn't work out for whatever reason. No worries if not

I believe i seen 2 other sites @ over $700, but don't recall who they were & did'nt think you wanted to pony up $750 for a .380.

Honestly, it might be one of the hardest "on-roster" guns to obtain in California right now and I'm used to paying a premium for everything here.

If you see any more, please let me know. I can only find scam websites with it in stock

I was able to confirm that the link is for a scam store that is using another company's address and FFL. Bummer. I'd pay $800 easy at this point I've been trying so hard to find one

How bad is the fine if you get caught with a noncompliant gun out there?

You've be lucky if you only got a fine. But no one would sell it to you. Many online vendors don't even sell to our state as both a political statement and due to ever-changing legalities.

It's really easy to legally acquire "noncompliant" guns, just have to pay 2x MSRP at least and do the transfer face-to-face. So a waste of time and money

In stock here as of today, but not cheap - plus tax & shipping (they also have the CW380 in stock for $368.99):

https://grabagun.com/firearms/handguns/semi-automatic-handguns/kahr-p380-380acp-2-5-b-st-pol-ns6rd.html

I have done business with them a dozen times with very satisfactory results.

I'd consider the CW. Both are great, the nicest shooting 380s IMO. They're the same size and function and shoot the same, but the CW380 version is hundreds less than the P380 and I'm pretty sure you'll be just as happy with it.

Good place to deal with - I have bought a couple of guns from them before.

The words "California approved version" makes me grind my teeth.
