Finally, CW380

[flushermgti]

Thanks for the update and pics franco. I think its safe to say, your one of the first kids on the block with the cw380. Make sure to stop back in with more updates and round counts.

Ikeo74, I went to the range yesterday and put about 170 rounds through it. In the first
100 rounds ...the trigger failed to reset twice. ...At this point I am attributing the trigger reset problems to user error.

How can a user possibly cause the trigger not to reset properly? The trigger of any gun should reset on its own no matter what the hell you do. Failure to go into battery during the break in I would accept and can be user error. Trigger reset issues? That's a no go for me. Keep us updated.

u have a point, but trigger reset definitely needs to be allowed toreset, some have not let up enough to reset, which IMO is very hard to do but it can be done. My bet is that the gun might need the striker channel really cleaned out to make sure there is no crude in there preventing propper reset. I would not get to excited with 2x in 170 rounds, for IMO if there is a mechanaical issue it should reduplicate itself time and time again, so right now lets say MAYBE shooter error and in need of a good striker channel cleaning, then after that u should not have a dead trigger..
Sometimes it is amazing how a few more rounds down range seems to cure certain start up ills. at this time the owner doesnb't seemn to concerned, so lets give the gun and shooter a chance to mate up to. takes to to tango u know. Just sayin

Have to agree with ol jocko here. I could see, on a rare occasion that a user could negatively influence trigger reset. It would more likely be, though, something in the channel area.
Clean it...shoot it...shoot it some more!

OK, so you guys got me thinking. I was wondering if the trigger reset issue could have actually been failure to go into battery also. If I rack the slide and reset the trigger and then pull the slide back just a little bit the trigger doesn't work. I did the prep according to Jocko's instruction including the flush of the striker channel prior to shooting (also did it again after shooting). I wonder if what I thought was reset issues was actually the gun being closer to being in battery than the other times but still not completely in battery. What do you think? I will shoot it again this weekend and watch more closely. Truthfully I don't expect any more issues though because I sent quite a few downrange at the end of my session with no issues.

[jocko]

excellent point and yes it willgive u a dead trigger is it is not in full battery. I think I would give the gun its 200 rounds of trials before getting to excited. If u get a dead trigger, just give the slide alittle bump forward and see what happens. Could stillbe very tight.

[franco45]

I will do exactly that Jocko.

Gotta get me one of those little jewels.

Thanks for the report.

Cw380

Just picked up my CW380 today. My serial number is only a few numbers from the posters gun. I really like how the gun feels and the sights are good for a small gun. Hope to shoot it soon. This is replacing a Ruger LCP for me which had more recoil than my 9MM PM9 so I hope this will work out.
BTW GrabAgun has in stock the Kahr 7 round extended mags for 27.50 and low shipping.

cool congrats OP and rwschill.... I had one on order about 8 months ago and got tired of waiting.
