Shot ~100 rounds of Corbon, Hornady, and Precision One Ammo. The Corbon and Hornady ran just fine not a single problem. The gun didn't like the Precision One ammo at first and I had several FTF and FTE. So, I switched to Corbon and Hornady. After shooting approx 50 rounds of the Corbon and Hornady, the gun began to cycle the Precision One ammo with no further difficulties. So, I believe it was more of a break in issue rather than an ammo issue. The recoil on the gun is very mild, but my accuracy with the gun was sporadic.

Also shot another 100 rounds through my PX4 Storm Compact. This gun is extremely accurate and easy to shoot, and the rotating barrel eliminates most of the harshness from the recoil. Not a single issue with the gun. I own many 9mm pistols and this is one of my favorites.

The Kahr P380 wouldn't consistently feed any of the ammo (Corbon, Hornady, or Precision One). The slide would not pick up the initial round from the magazine, and when it did, it would miss the next round when the slide cycled after firing. I tried multiple mags with the same result. So I don't know what is causing the problem. The gun was clean as were the mags.
 
No, the Kahr is several years old, but gets little use. I am going to discuss with Kahr customer service next week. The gun previously functioned well, and the chamfering issue is new.
 
6 to 12 inch groups, and pulling to the left on the G42 initially. Probably me more than the gun as I don't shoot small guns as well as guns with full size grips. For example, I consistently shot 3 inch groupings on center with the PX4 compact.

You have to include a distance, too.
