Problems with light primer strikes in Kahr P380

[71Commander]

I'm having all kinds of problems with failure to fire due to light primer strikes on my P380. The most recent range trip was with a box of factory loaded S&B. Not one fired.

Only way it will go bang is with handloads using Federal primers, which are hard to get.

Anyone else having problems?

Contact Kahr Customer Service.
They will recommend the appropriate course of action; which may include a trip to the factory.

The sooner you do this and stop the struggle the sooner you will have it back and in service.

Ask for Ian and talk with him about Kahr picking up the shipping costs.

Alternately, on http://kahrtalk.com there is at least one member that fixed light strikes in his 380:

However, if you search "light strikes" there, you'll see most sent theirs back for repair.

Thanks. So this seems like a issue with more than just mine.

For the record, I've had a K9, PM9 and my current PM40. Never had a problem with none of the others.
