I like the new little Kahr. I'm perfectly happy with my P-3AT, but will likely eventually get the Kahr too. No such thing as too many guns.

My initial thoughts on the Kahr P380

Just picked a Kahr p380 and was as happy as a kid in a candy store. I've owned several P3at's and liked them. Let's face it, these little guns are made for one specific purpose, easily concealed up close personal defense. The difference in price was hard to swallow but I just had to have it. So far, I'm not impressed, yet! Most confrontations that would require a gun of this type are inside of 10 yards. Both guns will handle that adequatley. (forgive my spelling). However, I am inclined to trust my life more on a Kahr more than the Keltec or LCP due to the quality of the manufacturing. I want to make sure that when it comes down to it I have what it takes. The bottom line is this, WHAT IS YOUR AND YOU FAMILY'S LIFE WORTH? The Keltec worked well with off the shelf ammo but with higher quality ammo it wanted to jump out of my had (my problem? Who knows). The Kahr was comfortable, easy to shoot and with only less that a hundred rounds never jammmed or showed inconsistency. I guess my point is this, if you want or need a pocket gun all three are good choices. If you don't want a BIC lighter, buy a Kahr. It''l be there for a long time.

And by the way, my groups were 9" at 15 yards, standing with the Kahr. The P3AT were 7" at 15 FEET. Take it for what it's worth. Nad by the way, it shoots Plus P ammo. Not sure I would care to due that with the Keltec or LCP, not enough grip to hold on to.

Such a pronounced difference in grouping is priceless.

When i picked up my Sig P238 yesterday i checked out the Kahr p380.
Its nice and its quality does seem higher than any competitors,except the p238 imo.
They had this particular Kahr p380 priced at $599,and this shop is well known for low prices!I didnt put it side by side with the KT or LCP but its close in size,maybe in the middle of those and the Sig p238.
Bit no way in heck is it worth $600!
I had one hell of a time justifying the $460 tag on my p238 and thats the base model.But im a 1911 guy and i only carry condition 1 guns so it was worth it to me.
Id find the Kahr a reasonable price at $450

Now if i can find a PM9 at CW9 price i may finally own a Kahr.

There is no comparison between the the two, the Kahr wins hands down! I have two P3ATs one with 3,011 rds (documented every round). The Kahrs ergonomics , trigger pull and recoil are significantly better. It baffles me how most people can make claims about carry pistols after 100rds. I need at least 1k to fully evaluate the gun and its reliability. The bottom line is that I can deliver 7rds faster and more accurately at a target at the same distance with my P380 than I can with my LCP and P3AT. The Kahr is also a significantly better built gun.

I love my P3AT's but I also have to polish and change the major springs and mag catch every 800rds.

People get so defensive over there Kel-Tecs they blame failures on everything but the gun. And Yes I went to Kel-Tec rehab too.
