Shooting
Love shooting this little pistol. I did do the recommendation do locking the slide back for about a week to soften up the recoil spring. I shout about 100+ rounds, and it worked flawlessly. The accuracy was a little off, shooting to the right I plan on replacing the original sights anyway. I put some Talon like grips from Hogue, it really helped to keep a great grip on this tiny pistol with its snappy recoil. This is my 3rd Kahr I have owned. I have a Kahr K9 and a K40. The K9 is a dream to shoot, the K40 is a handful. I also mounted a belt clip from Clipdraw, and I carry this .380 everyday. I am usually in hospital scrubs, so I need something that I can carry and disappear my scrubs. This Kahr CW380 with the belt clip is so lightweight, it is AWSOME!

Love this gun.
First time KAHR owner. I bought the CW380 on a whim one day at my local gun shop because the size was perfect for CCW pocket carry. Once I got home, I started reading and watching all of the negative reviews. I was very disappointed UNTIL, I went out and started shooting it. I did clean the gun as I do with all guns when I buy them, before I started shooting at the range to see how miserable this thing was going to perform. To my surprise, I have now shot hundreds upon hundreds of rounds with various ammo, 720 rounds to be exact, and I have yet to this day had one single FTF, stove pipes, jams of any kind. Maybe I should play the lottery if I’m that lucky to get the only KAHR CW380 that actually works as it should, and can trust it, especially considering it’s a self defense weapon
