New MagGuts +1 mag addition for Kahr 380 pistols

[dsk]

120 rounds sent downrange today... verdict on the MagGuts is a definite "Yay!". The Kahr itself had other issues however, so now I'm not as sure that I want to spend money on more kits and mags for this thing.

For those still paying attention, I fired another 100 rounds out of my mags today w/the kits and still no mag-related issues. Yes they're expensive, but they actually improve reliability, at least in my pistol. The extra round is just a plus in my book.

I got one but haven't tried it yet. That screw and the little plate look so ugly to me.

Me too.

I put these into my G42 and am very happy. Same physical size and +1 round. As for the Kahr, I too am in the same boat. Wife loves it so it's apart for a full polish of all mating surfaces. If it's finally becomes fully reliable, I may spring for two kits for wifey. Not really sure if I'd trust the CW380 as the only gun, likely only the backup at best. I admit though, There's not been more than 200 rounds through it yet, so we'll see.

Update: I got a pair of Magguts for my older P380. This gun functioned perfectly before I installed Magguts, and again with OEM springs after removing the Magguts.

But there was an issue with every magazine load with Magguts, with both HP's and FMJ's. The problem appeared to be the spring is exerting too much pressure on the rounds. Causing the slide to balk. Problems were fail to feed, stovepipes and failure to return battery. I returned them and Steve at Magguts stood behind them and gave me a refund.

This could not be more different than the results in my newer P380 where I continue to use Magguts in 3 magazines successfully and without a hiccup.

Not sure why it was a total success in one gun and failure in the other. I just know that these little sharp feed angle guns can be finicky. And when you've got one running smoothly you don't want to tinker around with success.

I shot a couple hundred rounds in a CW380 today with Magguts in the magazines. I had a few malfunctions that I don't think were mag related (FTRB). The gun was new, so I need to try some rounds without the Magguts and check some other things.

But, the followers don't slide very freely in the magazine tubes. One of them wanted to "stick" at the top of the mag, which would not be an issue after loading it.

Anyway, they do hold another round and that is a nice thing. I just did not like them as much as I hoped to.

I ran 100 rounds through them today, and they were 100% reliable. With the exception of the Leigh Xtreme Penetrators. (These did not work with my standard mags either.) So it looks like I will keep the xp for my round in the tube :l and keep my xtp rounds for the mag.

2 posts earlier, I described the first 200 rounds shot through a new CW380. I went ahead and installed 2 Magguts before shooting any rounds through the pistol. I had about a dozen times that the pistol did not return to battery and I just smacked with the palm of my left hand to get it to go. They happened throughout the entire 200 rounds with both magazines.

I took it out again today. The first time I had PMC round nose and Remington HTTP. It was the same with either. This time I just took 50 rounds of the PMC. It ran perfectly with the Magguts removed.

However, I am not ready to conclude that the Magguts were the issue. I have big hands, and the CW380 is tiny.

Before I shot the first round, I checked my grip, adjusted a bit and made a mental note to hold it very tightly. So, maybe it was me the first 200 rounds. I have never had a similar malfunction with any of my other pistols, but I really haven't shot these little 380s much.

Next time I will shoot with both factory mags and the Magguts and see what I see.

It is a nice shooting little pistol. Kinda tiny though, but I guess that is the whole idea.

Got 1 set yesterday and tested with 50 rounds. Had 4 problems with bullet hitting the bottom of the ramp and stopping. Cleaned and put back stock parts for carry. I will mess with it later and see if I can get it to run. Dan

Been eyeballing these lately.

I would encourage someone looking at the MagGuts to break in their pistol first. Make sure it is running flawlessly and then convert your mags with MagGuts. That way if there is a problem you will know for sure it is the MagGuts. I put my MagGuts in after 400 rounds. I have now fired 1,436 rounds through my CW380 without a problem from the MagGuts converted magazines. I really like their product.

Took the CW380 out today and alternated between Magguts equipped and standard factory magazines. It shot fine either way. Other than the extra round, I couldn't tell the difference, at least until cleaning time. The Magguts are slightly more trouble to take apart and clean, but only slightly.

The lack of returning to battery I had with the pistol at first probably had nothing to do with Magguts. It runs great now, even when I hold it not so tightly.
