| Are they available yet? |
|
Yes; for about a month maybe? I have seen them on Gunbroker a few times, $325-$375 range.
However; that doesn't mean they rolled them out in significant #'s yet. My LGS had not affirmative date of receiving them. I'm going to pick one up; hoping it's more reliable then the P380 I had a few years back? |

Quoted:
What's the issue with the older versions? When mine was new I had light striking primer issues and enough FTE issues during the first 500 rounds to make me feel uneasy. There was a lot of common issues I noticed online and a lot of suggestions to help remedy the issues. I was too busy with other things at the time and sold it off. I did get a CM9 and have had no issues with it since the first round. I'm ready to give the CW380 a try and see if I have better luck this time. |

Is there a known serial number cutoff to upgraded 380s? I love Kahrs and am looking to upgrade from my KelTec 380. |
| You would think the P380, with the slightly better parts, would be the one less likely to give you issues. I myself have shot both the CM9 and CW9 and could not justify the extra buck for their P counterparts. I would be willing to give any Kahr firearm a shot, have had little to no issues w/ all of the ones(both P and C lines of multiple calibers) I've shot. |

Is there a known serial number cutoff to upgraded 380s? I love Kahrs and am looking to upgrade from my KelTec 380. I don't know about the serial #'s. I got mine the first year they were out and I'm not sure if they keep a running list anywhere of updates, if any, that are made to that particular pistol. I am anxious to try a CW380 to replace my LCP. It's reliable as hell but I can't adjust to the trigger and would prefer a slide lock-back. |
| I've been looking at pocketable .380s. I was all set to go with the new stainless slide LCP when it becomes available, but last night I was able to handle a P380 for the first time. I think I'm going to go with a CW380 instead, the ergos are better for me and the trigger is far superior. |

The LCP's sights are terrible, it's a nice gun otherwise but to me it's a deal killer. The new ones have different sights altogether- they are a VAST improvement, in addition to a greatly improved trigger. It's worth checking out a new one to see the changes for yourself. |

I couldn't believe how much of a difference it was.
