Kahr CW380 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

The CW380 pistol has a 2.58 inch barrel, an overall length of 4.96 inches and a height of just 3.9 inches. It weighs just 10.2 ounces without a magazine. The pistol has a black polymer frame and features 4140 steel inserts molded into the front and back of the frame for added rigidity. It has a machined, solid 416 matte stainless steel slide and a textured polymer grip. The Kahr CW380 features a lock breech, modified Browning type recoil lug, and utilizes Kahr’s seven patents including the “safe cam” action found in all Kahr pistols. The result is a micro-compact pistol with very little recoil and quick follow-up shots. The pistol features drift adjustable white bar-dot combat rear sight and pinned-in polymer front sight.

A great little concealable Pistol, that is an unexpected pleasure to shoot! The ergonomics are superior and the smooth trigger pull really work well together. It is picky about ammo with a few FTF in the first 100 rounds. All is well after the second 100

I should have listened to other reviewers - a gun that needs 300 rounds to break in is no friend of mine. After 300 rounds, it was still not broken in. Jamming every 2nd or 3rd round now. First 100 was painful, each round would half fed into the chamber.
