I was worried about reliability. I’ve avoided Kahr in the past for that reason. After exploring the design of the p380, I have a few observations.
While it’s superficially Glock-like, the gun requires 1911-levels of lubrication. The slide stop-barrel lower lug interface may be important to lube to prevent FTRB. I’m planning on lightly polishing the inside of the lug with a q-tip spun on a drill.
It will not feed reliably with long rounds. I did not observe issues with bullet shape, just OAL and length to ‘ogive’ at the feed ramp.
The nice big slide stop makes reloads easy without slingshotting, but if you bump it while firing, that can cause a malfunction.
The mags are excellent for such a small gun. The length is very generous for 6 rounds, and the springs feed strongly.
Overall, I’m impressed with the design. But, I don’t think it’s as out-of-the box reliable as a Glock.
