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?

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.

Good to know. 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.

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.

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