Great gun. I got rid of an LCP, got a Kahr 380 and never looked back. I love the recoil and I've experienced no failures.

Did anyone have a lot of trouble with it (Kahr CW380) during the break in period? I've put about 200 rounds through mine and it's starting to loosen up but I still had two FTF's when I last shot it. Both times on the last round in the mag. Mine absolutely will not shoot Winchester white box or Tulammo, I get a FTF almost every round. PMC has worked better and that's been most of what I've put through it now. I'm a little worried reading that other people didn't have this issue so much during the break in period. Is it too early to send it in? Should I give it one more box?
I like using a good lube when breaking in a new gun. Are you lubricating all the wear points?I have two mags and I have had the same problems with both. My husband also had the same issue, I had him shoot it to be sure it wasn't me limp-wristing it or something. My G42 eats anything, but when I first shot it I was not used to the thinner grip and I limp-wristed and had a few FTE's with it. I'm 100% sure it was me, not the gun, in that issue. With this Kahr I'm 100% sure it's the gun. I can definitely tell that it's loosened up a LOT since I first got it. Darn, I will give it one more box or so and then it's going back if it's still having any issues.
The CW380 is certainly a soft shooter, I just shot it side by side with my Shield 9mm and I don't really notice any difference in recoil or snap between them. I consider myself to be recoil sensitive with handguns and I don't think there are many pocket guns that I'd have fun shooting, but the CW380 is really fun to shoot.

My (former) p380 purchased from an ingo member was a money pit.. I tried everything to fix the light primer strikes and failure to go into battery issues and just gave up and traded it at a loss at the lgs for a Winchester SX3.My CW went click instead of bang. Every round it wouldn't fire I loaded in a 1911 and it gobbled them right up. Kahr blew me off blaming ammo.
I sold it off and will never buy from them again. Bad gun and customer service. Double whammy for me.
Only Glocks for me now. They go boom every time regardless.
