Hello, yesterday I purchased my second Kahr but my first 380. I took it home, cleaned it and racked the slide several hundred times. I also bought 1 box of, Blazer, Independence, Magtech and Fiocchi ammo. I also purchased a box of Sig V-Crown carry ammo as well. Prior to going to the range, I was reading several posts in reference to Fiocchi ammo and how the Kahr doesn’t seem to like it. So I opened the box of Fiocchi ammo, loaded 5 rounds into the magazine and hit the slide release. Immediately it failed to feed that round and the round after that and the round after that. I tried the same test with all of the other above ammo and not one problem. So, this morning a called up my LGS and told them the problem I was having. They said they were unaware of any problem with Fiocchi ammo and that he even carries a Kahr (CM9) and it doesn’t have that problem. He kindly said I could bring the box back and exchange it for another. I wasn’t expecting that but I sure was glad. So I went and exchanged the box for a box of American Eagle, before heading to the range.
The range went surprisingly good after some of the posts and reviews I've read, had me worried. At least each box of FMJ had at least one or two failures to have the slide lock back after the last shot and the magazine was empty but I kind of expected it since it was during the break in period. After 200 rounds, I was very happy with the performance of the little Kahr. It was very easy to shoot and the recoil wasn’t bad for such a tiny pistol. I will say that the pistol isn’t for long distance and I was quite embarrassed when I attempted to shoot from the 25 yard line. I think maybe 2 out of 6 made it inside the silhouette. The pistol really shines from 7 to 15 yards though. After I was done with the FMJ, I decided to run two magazines of the Sig V-Crowns through it. The V-Crowns work very well and to me they were very accurate.
All in all I’m very happy with my purchase and happy to own another Kahr, after I sold my CW45.
