My relationship with Kahr so far
I bought it new about 6 months ago. Generally I'm liking it quite a bit, with a few exceptions. Out of the box, one of the rear night sights lights was out, so I sent it back for repair/replacement which they did fairly quickly. A few hundred rounds into it it was rarely (maybe one in twenty mags) holding the slide open on last round, as well as a half dozen FTE, so I sent it back again. They said the fitted this and adjusted that, and passed their 3 mag test afterwards. A half dozen mags by me had no FTE, but still no slide hold either. After reading threads about the later I'm gonna try a heavier mag spring and watch my thumb placement better.
After reading threads about "problem serial number/batches" for this model I began wondering, just when was my P380 built? I sent an email to Kahr asking just that, telling them my model and serial number. I also read somewhere that Kahr isn't to keen on email communications, so I called them directly and asked the same question, to which they gave me a date of 1/2/23 that it was manufactured. Then about a week later they replied to my email and said 11/17/22 was the born on date. I'm tempted to call and ask them again, and see if they give me a third different date, only to confirm that they're just BSing anyone that question.... WTH?
So yea, at this point in time I'm not getting the warm fuzzies about the company. I still think that they make a quality product, but starting to have reservations.
