Limp wristing is a issue I have seen with just about all small guns, this guy actually had the balls to tell people. And most people do not want to be told they do. I have been shooting thousands of rounds through different 380's and micro 9mm's for years and seen so many problems of guns because the owner could not handle the gun properly. They will invariably blame the gun and to on to bad mouth it.
Here is a fact. The Kahr 380 is a terrific firearm, one of the best 380's made. A one of the
Mildest you will shoot for it's size. I laugh when I hear folks say that you cannot make a small gun reliable. I have one Pico that has already more rounds through it without ONE SINGLE failure of any kind( other than a few bad primer strikes on cheap reloads that I get with any gun), than most people shoot their standard edc.
You mention the LCP, well I know a lot about them having owned 4 of them since they first came out. And still own one. I will not disparage the gun because I do not wan to offend anyone, but the Kahr is much better built firearm.If you plan on shooting often then get the Kahr or Pico. The Kahr has a great build quality but the Pico is truly in a class by itself. A real tank if you may.
Persoanlly I do not think a small 380 is for you. I would stick with one of the larger guns like the LC380. The LC380 would be the best choice for you from what I am reading. Or a Bersa or similar.
Here is a P380 fresh out of the box. I did PRE-condition it before range day. Here it is shooting 200 rds of mixed ammo not one problem except one. On the very last round, I was getting tired and sloppy and I took the gun in my off hand and limp wristed the gun. It happens
Personally I would not advise anyone to get any 380 right now. You will not find the ammo, at least not enough to train properly and diligently. And if you do, expect to pay a fortune. Again, 380's IMO of shooting them so often for so many years, is that they are for advanced shooters. And if a shooter put in the time and money they can do wonders, much more than the internet will tell you. Similar to a snubbie revolver.
And if you do buy a 380, then break the gun down and examine the Parts and how it is made. You will see some major differences in quality.
PS look at the steel inserts that Kahr winvested in for the frame. There is a reason why they did this. And why you will pay al little more.
