I just bought 3 at $31.99 each and flat rate shipping $5.99 for all three and some other stuff. Some good clearance stuff, too, paddle kydex twin-magazine holders $2 each, for hi-cap mags, but maybe can alter... bought 4!

Dang! Just saw this... regular Kahr P380 6-round ss .380 mags for 23.90! Only 4 left!

I got these yesterday but had trouble trying to upload the pictures with Firefox. I'm trying Chrome now.

How do you like them so far?

Any issues with feeding/firing?

I got three and two of them worked fine, the third had a lot of Failures To Feed... bullet nosed into the feed ramp.

I didn't clean them or take them apart and sand them or anything, so the next test, I'll do that. I uploaded a bunch of pictures to Photobucket, but I haven't sorted them out and tried to post them here. I had some grocery shopping and such today.

I was also trying out the Herters 95-gr FMJ that I got on sale at Cabela's. It's made by Fiocchi in Ozark, MO. It seems okay, but I was sure shooting left a lot. I shot 200 rounds of that, 50 rounds of 92-gr S&B FMJ, and 7 rounds each WW100 FMJ FP and Win Ranger Talons 95-gr JHP. I think the mags just needed some preparation.

The last magazine of S&B at the end, I had ONE FTE... fired case halfway out of the chamber and preventing the top live round from leaving the magazine.

The S&B has been really good in the past. I bought several thousand rounds of that.

The 7-round extended-grip mags give you a bit more to grab onto, but I mainly wanted these for the range and for reloads while CCW. The 6-rounders are so tiny!

Let me see if I can put the link to this album on Photobucket... I'll try to post some here when I have more time:

That's the photos I took. I started out on the lower right cross, patching after each magazine. I used all of my 7 6-round and 3 7-round mags, then for reloads, just the new 7-rounders. I think they will be fine after some "preparation"

I need to shoot my .45's again. I have much tighter groups. I did better with the 7-yard rapid fire than most of the slower fire.

Cool, thanks for the report.

Thanks very much for the photo. I'm afraid that if I purchased one of these it wouldn't do much more than keep my 7 round PM9 magazine company in the spare magazine drawer. You saved me $40 and for that I shall be eternally grateful. =)

I'll carry one for a reload and use them at the range. I really don't need any more grip for shooting... the bike tube grip really gives me plenty of control.

Oh crap! The hurricane isn't even here and I have "complete signal loss" on DISH. And here comes the rain and wind! I was watching the Weather Channel. I have an external antenna for the TV room, so I guess that will be my main view for the hurricane... IF it doesn't blow that away! The folks in Miami are driving with their headlights ON!

After about 5 minutes DISH came back. I thought that was premature.

Dang! I had better get going around here.
