Trigger on CW380

[berettabone]

IMHO, the easiest/most comfortable firearms to carry, also have the lousiest triggers and the lousiest sights. When my wife was looking for a firearm to purchase for carry, she answered her own question. " She said, " I realize that the stats show that most defensive situations occur in 3 seconds or less, and at close proximities, but what if it's longer......and farther?".............and I said, " That's WHY I don't carry a mouse gun for protection." Not every situation is the "standard" situation. I owned a BG for a short while and she shot that. I owned a Beretta 84fs and she shot that. She handled many firearms(over 100) in many calibers. I am glad that my wife chose, on her own, to sacrifice size and comfort for power and trigger and accuracy. No fumbling with an FTF. Just keep pulling the trigger. Has your sister tried a Remora holster? The wifey carries with one and it's been the best thing for her. The way they make women's pants, makes it very easy to carry without a belt. No belt and soft feel.................................I wish I could carry my firearms like that.

There's no perfect small 380:

LCP is not easy to rack for some people but has a good trigger. Recoil is also an issue.

CW380 can be darn near impossible to rack but has a nice trigger.

RM380 is really easy to rack and amazingly little recoil but has a long trigger pull (pull weight can be lightened with spring change but length can't be changed).

I guess I have found the solution. Sell the Kahr and get her a Ruger. Too bad, though. The Kahr CW is a nice little gun

Why does it have to be a .380?????????????

I'll stick with my CW380. It is hard to rack, but I carry with one in the chamber so no need to rack. Since the first 100 rounds it has been flawless. Over 1200 rounds through it, so when can you call any gun completely reliable? I am satisfied with the reliability.

Has your sister tried a Remora holster?

Oh yeah. Her favorite carry gun is a Glock 43 - set up just like mine. She shoots that astoundingly well. She likes shooting my Kahr 9s as well, but again, racking the slide is a challenge for her. She really likes to carry off body in her purse. I'm having a REALLY tough time weaning her off that. She has a couple of those holster purses that she loves. She likes the Remora the most for IWB carry of the Glock, but she's like 100 lbs soaking wet. I have an easier time concealing my Beretta M9 than she does concealing her Glock. Sometimes she just needs something small and easier to conceal than her G43, hence the LCP II.

She's still a work in progress, but at least she now carries with a round in the chamber, and she doesn't leave the house unarmed at all anymore. I'm absolutely done with hearing "But if I'm with you, you'll protect me..."

This is the first time I've heard of somebody complaining about a Kahr trigger. The trigger on my P380 is one of the reasons why I continue to put up with it despite all the problems I've had. Despite the diminutive size of the pistol I can easily keep the sights on target throughout the pull and during the break. While the triggers on my LCP and G42 aren't bad they are much stiffer and it's hard to keep everything still during the break, causing me to throw shots to the left somewhat.
