Description
Product Overview
The Kahr Arms CT380 is a compact .380 ACP semi-automatic pistol designed for discreet carry and practical daily use. It features a 3-inch barrel, a black polymer frame, and a stainless steel slide finished in Tungsten Cerakote. Its double-action-only striker-fired system uses a passive striker block for an additional layer of drop protection without adding an external manual safety. White bar-dot combat sights provide a clear aiming reference, with a drift-adjustable rear sight and pinned polymer front sight. The textured polymer grip supports a secure hold, while the included stainless steel magazine provides 7+1 capacity when one round is chambered.

Have a CW380, this 7...
Have a CW380, this 7 shot CT380 may be the perfect pocket CCW. Three dot sights are great, CERAKOTE from the factory is done wonderfully. The extra grip length and barrel length really show up at the range, but the gun fits both the same pocket holsters and waistband holsters as its little(r?) brother. The Pachmeyer grip sleeve was an unexpected bonus! I'd give this one 6 stars if I could. P.S. Too bad there is no TP380 available: might be a good idea for their "new model" product line.

The CT380 is a fine...
The CT380 is a fine pistol but Not for the faint of heart! You have to love guns and be willing to do what is necessary to break this puppy in. The dual recoil spring is very stout to say the least. It has gotten easier after the first 100 but be warned grip strength is mandatory rack the slide. I would recommend locking the action open and leaving it that way for a day or two. Kahr recommends a 200 round break in and I have to agree with them. Also Kahr recommends utilizing the slide lock to load the first round. If you do not be it will fail to feed almost every time. PROS: The fit and finish are superior. The tungsten cerkote covers the slide inside and out as well as the trigger. The included magazine comes with a pinky extension which allows for a full grip. Rear sight is dovetailed allowing for drift adjustment. Night sights are available directly from Kahr for 80 bucks. The trigger is very smooth but only after break in. It is a striker fired weapon but the trigger pull is more like a light double action. Which is perfect for a pocket pistol. Recoil is very manageable. A lot of micro 380 pistols are not much fun at the range but I enjoy shooting my Kahr. The concealability of the CT380 is comparable to the Ruger LCP or LCP 2 with an extended magazine. CONS: It is very ammo sensitive. You can not run cheap ammo and you may not be able to run some not so cheap ammo either. Break in required and 380 ammo is not the cheapest. I purchased the CT380 to replace my Ruger LCP 2. I wanted sights that were adjustable and replaceable. I also wanted a slightly longer grip without a magazine extension. I got what I was looking for. I trust my Kahr now that I have broken it in. I can not recommend this to a novice shooter. I can recommend it to someone who appreciates quality workmanship and very tight tolerances and is willing to take the time to break it in.

This is just one of...
This is just one of many guns I have purchased from Buds, and it was another flawless transaction. On to the review of the Kahr CT380. The good; Very good looking gun with enough grip space to get about half your little finger on the grip with the flush mag. Wonderful trigger with bright white 3 dot sights. It is the most accurate small pistol I have ever shot, and I own and have shot several. It is light, fast and controllable. The bad; Man that slide is stiff right out of the box, I'm not sure if it gets easier after using it a bunch or you just get stronger. Very ammo sensitive, absolutely hated some ammo and liked others. Kahr advises a 200 round break in, and I agree. On my first trip to the range I had trouble with a name brand reloaded round nose FMJ and a couple of over seas brand named ammo jamming in the magazine or fail to feed malfunctions almost every round. Prior to that I had only a couple of fail to feeds out of 100 rounds with Sig FMJ. More good; Before my second trip to the range I super cleaned the gun and greased the rails. I shot Remington FMJ, Blazer Brass FMJ, and Lawman FMJ, a total 150 rounds without a malfunction. I also shot 50 Hornady American gunner HP's without a problem. So be aware of the break in and test a few different types of ammo and you'll be good to go.
