Not fair, I have to wait two more days for mine ;)

Were you able to find extra mags for reasonable price?
Did you just buy that beautiful firearm, or are you trying to sell that piece of crap?

Palmetto state armory has some for $31.99 plus shipping. I ordered one last week and should be here Tuesday.

Boss has some left over 380 ammo he's going to get me so I can at least test fire this gun and get a feel for it.

I have a P380.

I needed to send it back to Kahr for light primer strikes. Came back and works fine now. They replace the slide and all internal parts.

I had a Keltec P3AT before, the Kahr is has less felt recoil to me. I only occasionally carry it, usually carry something larger.
Because I care, I carry.

I love mine.
By far the nicest pocket 380 I've had.

I ordered it from Gallery of guns, and had my local FFL do the transfer. Total cost of the pistol, with transfer and sales tax was less than $350.

Well I got that ammo from my boss. Most of it was steel cased Tula, but there was about 25 rounds of brass PMC, and about 10 rounds of Blazer aluminum cased. All are FMJ loads.

I ran the first magazine where it would fire two rounds of brass, aluminum, and steel cased ammo. Everything ran except for the steel cased. I'm guessing the load is under powered because it fired the round, ejected it, but failed to feed all the way into the chamber causing the gun to not go into full battery. I'll try running a full magazine of steel case at a later date to see if it does it again. I ran out of decent daylight to do any more testing. But the recoil wasn't too bad. Second best shooting 380 I've owned next to my Bersa Thunder 380 I had.

interesting... What do you think of the trigger? I've heard that is normally the biggest complaint with this gun. I've been thinking of trying one of these little babies. What if anything do you feel needs to be done to the gun (Upgrades, sights grip ext...) I'll be interested to hear more! Such a good price on a gun $319!

I saw a p380 at bills gun show when it was first release and was shocked to see that it was smaller then the Kel-Tec 380 which was the trailblazer in this category....it felt lighter, and was marginally smaller all around.....I'd definately buy one.

Trigger is the best double action only trigger I've shot in a 380 to date. Very smooth.
