this gun is incredible mine functioned flawlessly right out the box i racked the slide about 500 times before I took it to the range best 380 on the market
Lou Rubenstein...exactly! Kahr recommends using the slide release when chambering the first rounds. I have a PM9 and PM45 and they’ve been 100% reliable.
I have the same Kahr CT380. Like you I thought the slide spring was too stiff for a 380. I replaced the two slide springs with a single flat wound spring from a Sig P938. The CT380 slide is now much easier to run & the gun operates w/o any issues.
They are made for quality hot ammo that’s why it’s so stiff and has ammunition related issues. It’s expensive to break them in but after 250/300 rounds they shoot everything reliably just 300 quality rounds is super expensive
i have one of these cool little guns. and yes let the slide release do the job of chambering a round. im in the habit of letting the slide do the work on all my pistols that lock open after last round. i never had an issue with failures to feed. i let my brother take it to the range one day and he said he couldnt get one mag through it without jams. turns out he did the same thing you did. trigger didnt get reset properly and hand racked it. i can take it out and fire 200-300 rounds worry free. btw SIG V CROWN IN 90 GR. HOLLOW POINTS ARE BADASS ROUNDS IN IT. JMHO.
I just got mine and had the exact same problem. Only put 50 in so far but it’s started shooting smoother. Your video made me feel better! Helped me watching it, thank you.
Sometimes when you load the magazine. You have to be careful of rim lock. Also, some hollow points, and flat nose FMJ, can have feed issues. I own one. Fired may different rounds in it. Little bit of learning.
Kahrs suggested loading procedure is to lock slide back, insert mag and release slide stop. I had to do that on my cm40 too, to be consistent and avoid the loading malfunctions you had.
I picked one of these up from buds a while back for my wife. based on your review and comments I took it to the range and put 100 rounds through it before I gave it too her. had a couple of hang ups, not bad though about the same as a tight new 1911. my wife used it for her ccw class, 250 rounds and one fte malfunction. so 350 rounds, two completely different shooters, and 3 fte's. for $300 nib it will be hard to find something of this quality and performance. thanks for the review.
May I inquire what kind of ammo you were using? Apparently from the comments they are very ammo sensitive, from what I have read they seem to have little or no problems when using Remington and Win W/B. Any comments you may care to offer I would appreciate because I really like the size and the 7 +1 shot capacity. I would also like to know what "carry" ammo you are using, I'm basically a Cor-bon and Win PDX1 fan, Thanks my friend! !
@@ChuckHydro I use Hornady American Gunner 90 grain hollow point XTP standard pressure. Feeds great. I don't know how well, ballistically...It just works. Also works great in my Taurus PT 738.
I racked the slide hundreds of times and shot 600 rounds and it's broken in now. It shot Hornady CD with a full mag earlier than 600. It hung up on some when loaded with 5, 6 or 7 in mag. Breakin is totally worth it. I love the gun.
I’m a big fan of kahr. They are made to carry it actually only likes hot ammo that’s why everything is so stiff and tight. The all metal kahrs are naturally +p rated because it’s cnc machined stainless steel. Even this gun is 418 stainless steel
alfred vozzella I had a karh p380. I had nothing but problems with it past the break in period. Failure to feed issues constantly. It did a little better with round tip lead rounds but still jammed up a lot. But most people want a defense round while carrying a 380. I got the pm9. This gun has run all sorts of ammo defense and regular rounds. Over 5000 rounds never one malfunction. What I have noticed is the 9mm round is pointy and sits higher up on the feeding ramp. The pm 9 came out first then the 380. It seams they took the 9mm model and made the 380 model without considering adjustment necessary to make the 380 reliable like the 9. The shape of the 380 is more round and makes it sit lower on the feeding ramp. They need to adjust the design so the round points slightly more vertically and sits higher up on the feeds ramp. It’s a shame because it has such a great potential to be a great fun.
Excellent pistol. I like it a LOT. I have the CW380 and it operates flawlessly. I still may trade it in towards the purchase of the CT. Like the longer grip and extra round.
All the errors in the video are user related not the gun malfunctioning. You can't ride the slide when loading a Kahr. Slingshot or use the slide release, and to slingshot, you have to be perfect. You also can't short stroke it or limp wrist it.
Hey, you know on Kahr pistols you're supposed to chamber a cartridge by pressing the slide stop lever, right? That's what the manual says. haha..#143! Anyway, good video. I have a CW9 myself.
Jason, once you get through the break-in the gun will smooth up considerably. You'll also be able to hand rack the first round without jamming, but you'll have to use the proper technique. Pinching the slide between your thumb and fore finger just won't get it and neither will riding the slide. Place the heel of your left hand against the left side of the slide and wrap all four of your fingers over the top. Pull the slide fully to the rear and let your hand slide off. These guns need to be run wet and cleaned often for best results. I clean mine every 50 rounds. Disassemble and clean the mags ever other cleaning of the gun. Do not allow oil to get into the striker channel and you won't have a problem with light primer strikes. Do not lubricate the mags.

Just a suggestion from an old fart. Have your buddy there (if you trust him) load the weapon with one or no rounds, hand it to you and you'll know if you flinch. training like this will help you rid yourself of that problem. It's easier with a revolver, but this also works. Don't ask me how I know.
Have the ct40 and it ran flawlessly. The wife used it and had stove piped it once and the slide failed to go completely into battery every other round. Turns out she was limp wristing it pretty bad. I shot another 100 rounds of cci blazer and ran great same with some hornady critical defense
It's take almost 200 round to get mine functioning. If your thinking of buying one. Keep that in mind, it ups the cost a bit along with the range fee's. I've never had this much trouble with braking in a pistol. Say what you will about the Body guard it has never malfunctioned on me. I don't trust my Kahr yet. Hopefully soon thou because it is a sweet shooter when its not jamming.
I don'y pay range fees I just go shoot in the forest. Mine has functioned fine, now it's just the trigger reset that gets me and figuring out what ammo to use, some ammo works better then others, but down the road I may trade it in.
Did you read the manual? You are supposed to use the slide release to chamber a round, NOT "slingshot" the slide to load. After 200... this should not be an issue.
The easiest thing to do is perhaps to fashion is piece of wood with your pocketknife that has just the right thickness to line up the witness marks and insert it into the ejection port. Drop that piece into your cleaning kit and voila.
Pete Zaitcev I forgot to mention that old "premium" Kahr 380 came with a plastic tool that looked like a magazine and went into the magwell. For some reason it was universally derided by the owners and Kahr stopped supplying it. Probably saved a couple of cents, too.
I bought the same Kahr CT380 & thought the slide spring seemed too heavy for a 380. Like you, I tried locking the slide back for a few days, but the slide was still very stiff for a 380. I also have a Sig P380 & P938, so I pulled them both apart to look at their slide springs. I tried the P938 flat wound slide spring in the Kahr CT 380 & it works great. It's easier to pull back the slide, fires & ejects every time & locks the slide back every time. Problem solved, w/o any break in period.
I would not be concerned at all about those first few mags. Other reviews have stated the 200-round number as a break-in for the gun -- also adding that Kahrs are tight when new. Also, just a tip, NO semi-auto is designed to slowly let the slide go forward! None. You have to cycle the gun with full spring force -- so those failures were ones you may have induced.
+tkarlmann I have a ct380 and kahr says Dont ride the slide or it can cause jams.. Thats there way of saying the pistol will jam and its not broken. My ct380 likes one out of 6 ammos I bought. Its 100% with Remington fmj and the others some wont even battery just releasing the slide. Yes im using the slide release. Odd my G42 Chambers ALL of the same ammo perfectly. The CT IS NOT broken like I said the Rem FMJ ammo was 100 out of 100. Yes my fingers is worn out from just seeing if the pistol can chamber a round. My Winchester PDX1 ammo a few bullets are damaged from all of the failures to feed in the kahr. Also Winchester white box wont feed. Tula is complete waste of time with this gun and Also Perfecta is Horrible. PASS on the CT unless you want to just stock pile one type of ammo...
Im made a video of it. I will upload it tonight. The gun is FINE its not broken. Like I said it didnt jam one time with the Remington ammo out of 100. Yet all of the other ammo I used its hit or miss. There is another Video of a police officer who had this same issue and he sent his back and forth a few times and they said its not broken and to use good quality ammo. His is doing the same as mine. I finished the editing on the video and will upload tonight.
There is a simple fix you can do to the extractor if you have feeding issues. Mine wouldn't feed Geco ball ammo at all. It got hung up on the bottom of the extractor. Check out the kahrtalk forum. They have a sticky on how to fix it. I did it to my CT and its been flawless since.
A good quality gun should function right out of the box. I for example had a generation one Ruger LC9, hammer verison, and it worked great, never had a issue with it. Second small caliber rounds like the 380(9x17) or 32acp, naturally lack penetration. So hardball or some type of bullet designed to penetrate the target are preferable. Hollow point reduce the effects of these small bullets.
Now that you have had the gun awhile what do you think? I like the looks of this gun and the size! Another prime consideration is how hard is it to rack the slide, my wife has weak hands? Thanks!
It's definitely ammo picky and took a few hundred rounds to function properly as do most small guns. I think when I used Winchester or Remmington it shot flawlessly. Try some different ammo for yourself and always keep the gun clean.
Compressing a spring does not loosen it! It’s the constant compressing and decompressing that loosens springs! Read the owners manual it will tell you all you need to know and do with a Kahr!!
4:15 That trick does NOT work, what softens a spring it is the number of compressions AND decompressions that it suffers during its lifetime, that’s why you can keep a full magazine for long periods of time without damaging the spring. So keep shooting it and it will become softer and you a better marksman :)
g234z I think its the extra machining and drift-able sights that adds to the price of the p380. Nothing significant really. It won't effect the accuracy of the firearm.
I know exactly how to correct the slide issue on these Kahr's.....trade it in for a Glock 42!! I had the same problem with this gun while at the shooting range. I had rented one of these POS guns and found it to be a complete waste of time, and I would not trust the reliability of this gun no matter how many rounds you need to break it in. Hey Kahr, why make the freakin slide so damn hard to use? Its called a SLIDE...it means it's supposed to sliiiiiiiiidddee!
+Nicholas M Many guns need to be broken in, even 1911's. If you watched the whole video the gun broke in very quickly and I haven't had any more issues. To each his own though, Glock is no better then a lot of other guns.
Mine is a jamomatic, stovepipes, failure to feed, failure to chamber. Sent it back to them, came back, same ole shit. Wouldn't carry it. it is essentially a single shot. unreliable will not carry it
Too many failures for self defence. Notably the long let off of the trigger after firing. In a defence situation, it would be easy to be anxious and try to fire again, and fail. A self defence weapon should not have these flaws.
+Joel Barnett Did you ever shoot a revolver Joel. Every revolver has a long trigger reset. The time that it takes you to recover from recoil is plenty of time to reset the trigger and you're not as likely to have a negligent discharge.
I bought the CT 380 Tungsten model. Tungsten coated slide, trigger and slide lock. Also comes in a hard case with 2 magazines. All for the same price as the version in the video. No idea why, but it was a hell of a deal.
I stopped watching this video at about 3 minutes because you put your hand in front of the muzzle what seemed like a hundred times. You have either little experience with firearms or you've had a lot and developed some bad habits. Please be more safe.
I just picked up a New CT380. Put 300 rounds thru it first trip to the range. ZERO Issues. Great little gun.
tedjones112 awesome!
this gun is incredible mine functioned flawlessly right out the box i racked the slide about 500 times before I took it to the range best 380 on the market
Agreed
To properly ready a Kahr, lock the slide back, insert the mag, hit the release , no issues
Lou Rubenstein...exactly! Kahr recommends using the slide release when chambering the first rounds.
I have a PM9 and PM45 and they’ve been 100% reliable.
You can rack them, you just cant sisyshit it.

Thanks Jason. And, lock the slide back, then release it to chamber the round, instead of racking the slide. Works well. All the best.
Thanks, that's how I do it now.
I just got mine and had the exact same problem. Only put 50 in so far but it’s started shooting smoother. Your video made me feel better! Helped me watching it, thank you.
Ya you really have to break it in. I still have mine and it fires great now. Gotta put around 500 rounds through it.
Sometimes when you load the magazine. You have to be careful of rim lock. Also, some hollow points, and flat nose FMJ, can have feed issues. I own one. Fired may different rounds in it. Little bit of learning.
Never seen or heard of rim lock occurring with the .380 ACP round. I think you got this one confused with the ..32 ACP.
Yep, just read the manual. I have this gun and had a pm9 and cw9, as long as you use the slide release problem solved. Very good guns.
+Paul Ruth Agreed

LIMP WRIST WILL CAUSE ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS
All the errors in the video are user related not the gun malfunctioning. You can't ride the slide when loading a Kahr. Slingshot or use the slide release, and to slingshot, you have to be perfect. You also can't short stroke it or limp wrist it.
Manually loading a round with the slide was my fault, NOT the failure to feeds when firing.
@@jasonolbinski9333 thanks for the review. now i know never to buy a kahr. piece of shit gun
@@wickedhouston5538 it’s actually not bad. I still have it, you just have to break it in. I have no more issues with it.
Maybe read the manual before trying to use it. Kahr states to drop the slide lock to chamber a round. Not rack the slide.
Thanks, I knew that and you're the 142 person to state it.
+Jason Olbinski sorry if I offended you. I hadnt read any of the posts. Just watched the video. Again, sorry.
Hey, you know on Kahr pistols you're supposed to chamber a cartridge by pressing the slide stop lever, right? That's what the manual says. haha..#143!
Anyway, good video. I have a CW9 myself.
Has anyone mentioned to you Not to rack the slide? Hahaha!
Btw, one must not rack the slide to chamber a round
Using the slide stop to chamber a round - STATED CLEARLY IN THE MANUAL! You might want to read it BEFORE USE!

The stovepipe seems that it has a snappy recoil due to the extra heavy spring
Kahr recommends a 'break-in' of 200 rds run through any of their autos.
Did you read the manual? You are supposed to use the slide release to chamber a round, NOT "slingshot" the slide to load. After 200... this should not be an issue.
+Bolts fan Yes I found that out.
Winchester white box for range. Federal hst for carrying. After 200 rounds it has done me good.
The easiest thing to do is perhaps to fashion is piece of wood with your pocketknife that has just the right thickness to line up the witness marks and insert it into the ejection port. Drop that piece into your cleaning kit and voila.

In my experience Kahrs are finicky when they are new. I've never had failures with one that was broken in and man are they accurate.

Would like to get this for the wife, but I've heard the racking is not easy, so maybe better to go with Shield EZ 380 instead.
Thanks for the video, a cleaning video would be informative and helpful for noobs like me :)
One must not rack the slide but press the slide release to chamber a round. #145
nice review, thanks
mynewsong No problem
KAHR arms firearms must be held very very solidly as there is little mass to them. If you do not stove pipes and FTE's will result.
A good quality gun should function right out of the box. I for example had a generation one Ruger LC9, hammer verison, and it worked great, never had a issue with it. Second small caliber rounds like the 380(9x17) or 32acp, naturally lack penetration. So hardball or some type of bullet designed to penetrate the target are preferable. Hollow point reduce the effects of these small bullets.
Hornady FTX works quite well and has a great feed profile! See Chris Baker's tests with Lucky Gunner 👍
This has to be his first kahr . Kahr pistols your supposed to drop the slide lock to load it
The word for the day is revolver .
Now that you have had the gun awhile what do you think? I like the looks of this gun and the size! Another prime consideration is how hard is it to rack the slide, my wife has weak hands? Thanks!
It's definitely ammo picky and took a few hundred rounds to function properly as do most small guns. I think when I used Winchester or Remmington it shot flawlessly. Try some different ammo for yourself and always keep the gun clean.
Thanks! I will take all your advice to heart!
wow it has a little and a big recoil spring that explains why it fails when racking the slide
+Ronnie Jones That's why it has to be broken in.
Compressing a spring does not loosen it! It’s the constant compressing and decompressing that loosens springs! Read the owners manual it will tell you all you need to know and do with a Kahr!!
Nice video. What camera are you using?
+Roy D Thanks, Nikon L830.
4:15 That trick does NOT work, what softens a spring it is the number of compressions AND decompressions that it suffers during its lifetime, that’s why you can keep a full magazine for long periods of time without damaging the spring. So keep shooting it and it will become softer and you a better marksman :)
+ogarzabello Agreed
Let us know how the hollow points expand ?
How was the felt recoil and accuracy of the gun?
Onecool Gi not bad for a small gun
You don’t slingshot the slide on a kahr. Lock it back release slide stop,no issue
Or just buy a Ruger LCP2 and don't worry about how you chamber it.
I do on my cm9 and ct380 never had a problem with em
Geez, I couldn't take the lip clicking.
got flinch?
Maybe, limp wrists?
Mine works flawless with JHP's, constantly jams with FMJ's.
Awesome.
this gun is very ammo sensitive, Winchester white box works like a champ
And Remmington also
might be hitting the slide stop, release. couldn't see your hands well.
I think if you stopped limp wristing it you wouldnt have an issue. Its pretty clear to see that is whats happenin.
Need to start the break in loaded with 5 rounds.
sycamorebacker1 good 2 know
What's the difference between this and the p380. Aside from polygonal rifling.
g234z Not sure exactly, I think the P380 has a little more to it and is more pricey.
g234z I think its the extra machining and drift-able sights that adds to the price of the p380. Nothing significant really. It won't effect the accuracy of the firearm.
g234z P380 is shorter in length and height, also has 2 mags, poly rifling and better milling. Oh. and a good chunk more cash.
After watching this, I have decided I had better just stick with my Sig !
P290, or P365?
I think a cleaning video would be helpful.
+seattwa I showed how to take it apart and reassemble it, cleaning it is very easy.
Can the CT 380 shoot 9mm aswell?
380 only. Good lil gun though
Looks the the slide is fairly annoying to rack...
First time firing a pistol, eh?
haha!
LIMP WRIST
Looks like recoil is negligible.
+hiccup45 Yes
Read the directions and you should be good to go.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING???? YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO SLINGSHOT THE SLIDE.
Intended carry guns should all come with two mags minimum! jmho.
good lord!! the lip smacking got me.. if i ever bought this pistol id think of yoyr annoying lip smacking.. pass...
thats right your falt
I know exactly how to correct the slide issue on these Kahr's.....trade it in for a Glock 42!!
I had the same problem with this gun while at the shooting range. I had rented one of these POS guns and found it to be a complete waste of time, and I would not trust the reliability of this gun no matter how many rounds you need to break it in.
Hey Kahr, why make the freakin slide so damn hard to use? Its called a SLIDE...it means it's supposed to sliiiiiiiiidddee!
+Nicholas M Many guns need to be broken in, even 1911's. If you watched the whole video the gun broke in very quickly and I haven't had any more issues. To each his own though, Glock is no better then a lot of other guns.
Glock plastic cheap crap
Mine is a jamomatic, stovepipes, failure to feed, failure to chamber. Sent it back to them, came back, same ole shit. Wouldn't carry it. it is essentially a single shot. unreliable will not carry it
Follow directions
Wow not the pistol it's the user
Throw the gun at the target and go get coffee !
Too many failures for self defence. Notably the long let off of the trigger after firing. In a defence situation, it would be easy to be anxious and try to fire again, and fail. A self defence weapon should not have these flaws.
+Joel Barnett Did you ever shoot a revolver Joel. Every revolver has a long trigger reset. The time that it takes you to recover from recoil is plenty of time to reset the trigger and you're not as likely to have a negligent discharge.
That fucking sucks and I love kahr arms man..
+Ronnie Jones It just needed a break in period, it works great now.
Only one magazine? Come on Kahr, git with the program!! (2 magazine minimum)
I bought the CT 380 Tungsten model. Tungsten coated slide, trigger and slide lock. Also comes in a hard case with 2 magazines. All for the same price as the version in the video. No idea why, but it was a hell of a deal.
this gun is a POS, sold it and went with the glock 43
me to... I made a video of how bad it was. Sold and got the G42. Check out my video.
I stopped watching this video at about 3 minutes because you put your hand in front of the muzzle what seemed like a hundred times. You have either little experience with firearms or you've had a lot and developed some bad habits. Please be more safe.
Geez, I couldn't take the lip clicking.
What...*smack*...do you *smack* mean?
