In the realm of compact personal defense firearms, the Kahr P380 stands out as a masterful blend of engineering excellence and practical design. Built for those who value reliability and precision in their self-defense arsenal, this pistol delivers on all fronts.
The heart of the P380 lies in its meticulous construction. The black polymer frame is reinforced with molded 4140 steel inserts at both front and back, ensuring formidable strength without sacrificing weight or handling. This solid foundation supports a matte blackened stainless steel slide that houses tritium night sights—ideal for low-light conditions where visibility can make all the difference.
At just 2.53 inches long, the match-grade barrel underscores Kahr's commitment to accuracy even within such compact dimensions. The trigger cocking DAO (Double Action Only) operation provides consistent pull every time you fire, enhancing control while maintaining simplicity—a hallmark feature for any serious shooter.
This model features a lock breach system complemented by a Browning-type recoil lug, designed to manage recoil efficiently despite its small stature. For added safety without unnecessary complications, it incorporates passive striker block technology while eschewing magazine disconnect operations.
The Kahr P380 comes equipped with two 6-round magazines plus an additional round chamber capacity (6+1), providing ample ammunition supply given its size class. Its textured polymer grip ensures firm hold under various conditions—even when rapid response is required.
