I have a Kahr CW 380 and it is machined very tight in tolerances compared to my old Ruger LCP, of course the Kahr shoots better with the accuracy and nicer trigger. However, the purpose of each of these pocket .380 pistols is close quarter self defense, not target pistols.
I sold my Ruger LCP because the pins kept walking out while being shot and the trigger pull was very heavy. But it was reliable and ammo forgiving, my Kahr is touchy on ammo and needs to be kept really clean and well oiled. Will be stripping it down soon even though it has not been shot in 3 years, but carried daily.
Why would the engineers at Kahr make a self defense pistol so tight mechanically? Have no experience with their larger framed guns, I suppose they are tight too?
