By specializing in compact pistols, Kahr has turned out some high quality yet affordable pocket guns. We find out in this Kahr CT380 Review\u00a0Kahr continues this tradition of solidly-built little guns with this compact pistol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/shopkahrfirearmsgroup.com\/ct380-ct3833\/\">CT380<\/a> is the smallest of all the guns in our test. Its size is more in line with .380 ACP \u201cpocket pistols\u201d like the Ruger LCP2 and Smith &amp; Wesson Bodyguard, but it can also work as a defensive gun in the home.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CT380&#8217;s light weight and small size means that, compared to the other guns in our test, it\u2019s a bit of a handful to shoot. However, it turned out to be a solid performer on the range. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CT380 is a striker-fired gun (the only such gun in our test). As such, its trigger is very nice, being one of the better ones in our test. However, CT380&#8217;s slide required the most effort to rack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kahr CT380 Review: First Impressions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/jboumq0r17.jsonp\" async><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_jboumq0r17 videoFoam=true\" style=\"height: 100%; position: relative; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_swatch\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0; transition: opacity 200ms; width: 100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"filter: blur(5px); height: 100%; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/jboumq0r17\/swatch\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kahr CT380 might be the smallest gun in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/best-compact-380-acp-pistol\/\">380 ACP pistol tests<\/a>, but it\u2019s still a step up in size from a true .380 pocket gun. It should be considered a compact .380. The CT380&#8217;s 7 round capacity is on the low end of the test, and at just over three quarters of an inch wide, it\u2019s the skinniest of all the pistols in our test. But it still felt very comfortable in my hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of hands, my little finger is almost half off the grip when I hold onto this pistol with my strong hand. Sadly, there is no magazine extension available. If your hands are larger than mine, be prepared to shoot this gun without the support of your little finger on the grip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Sights<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_sights.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-964\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_sights-300x209.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_sights-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_sights-768x535.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_sights-1024x714.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_sights-610x425.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_sights-1080x753.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_sights-627x437.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_sights.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The CT380&#8217;s sights are of a dot and post type. In order to get a proper sight alignment, you need to center the white dot of the front sight on top of the post that\u2019s in the middle of the rear sight. The rear sight is drift-adjustable for windage, but the pistol I tested didn\u2019t need any adjustment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CT380 is the only striker-fired gun in our test. This means that, unlike the other pistols that use a hammer that is cocked back and dropped onto the firing pin to shoot the gun, the firing pin in the CT380 is held back by spring tension and then driven forward to ignite the cartridge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Slide Manipulation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that is quite noticeable with the CT380 is the amount of effort it takes to manipulate the slide. It took me, on average, over 24 pounds of effort to get the slide to lock back on an empty magazine. This is almost double the effort of the other guns we tested. This heavy slide pull might be difficult for people with weakened strength or physical disabilities. On the plus side, however, the serrations on the back of the slide make it easy to hang onto the gun as you are pulling the slide back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CT380&#8217;s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trigger is quite nice. There is some takeup (slack) when you initially press the trigger, but it is easy to tell where the break (the point where the trigger makes the gun go BANG) is on this gun.\u00a0 This makes it easier to shoot and control recoil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-962 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_1-300x218.jpg\" alt=\"Kahr CT380 Review\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_1-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_1-768x557.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_1-1024x743.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_1-610x443.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_1-1080x784.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_1-627x455.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/ct-380_1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Range Impressions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite its small size and light weight, the CT380 is easy to keep on target during rapid fire. The lighter-recoiling .380 ACP cartridge makes a big difference here.\u00a0 Plus, I found the dot and post sights were easy to use and helped provide a fast and precise sight picture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the CT380 is thin and light, it is nevertheless easy to hold on to. And, I found that all the controls (like the slide release lever and magazine release button) were right where I expected them to be. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Test Ammunition<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/380-auto?manufacturer=150\">250 Rounds Tula 91 Grain FMJ<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/380-auto?manufacturer=9\">100 Rounds Blazer Brass 95 grain FMJ<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/380-auto?manufacturer=4\">50 Rounds PMC 90 grain FMJ<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/380-auto?manufacturer=6\">50 Rounds Fiocchi 95 grain FMJ<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/380-auto?manufacturer=1\">20 Rounds Federal Premium 99 grain JHP<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/380-auto?manufacturer=7\">25 Rounds Remington Golden Saber 102 grain JHP<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/380-auto?manufacturer=133\">20 Rounds Hornady Critical Defense 90 grain FTX<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Issues:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nRound 258: Stoppage (Failure to Eject), PMC FMJ<\/p>\n<p><strong>Total Issues: 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accuracy\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kahr CT380&#8217;s short sight radius and short barrel don&#8217;t do it any favors when it comes to accuracy.

However, it didn&#8217;t work when shooting Tula ammunition in this gun. I\u2019d grab the slide, pull it back, let it go, and the gun would fail to feed a new round of Tula into the chamber, jamming the first round in the magazine up against the barrel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was a tad frustrating, as I\u2019d then need to lock the slide back (remember how I said it took a lot of effort to do that?), drop the magazine, cycle the action, load the magazine, and then remind myself to use the slide lock lever this time, at which point, the gun worked just fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I should stress that this only happened with Tula ammo. Whether this is an issue with just Tula ammo or it might show up with other steel cased ammo remains to be seen. The only other issue we encountered with all the other ammo we tested was one failure to eject at round 258 of our 500 round test.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kahr CT380 Review Wrap-up\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/kahr_ranking_sheet.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-965 size-large\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/kahr_ranking_sheet-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Kahr CT-380 Ranking Review\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/kahr_ranking_sheet-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/kahr_ranking_sheet-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/kahr_ranking_sheet-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/kahr_ranking_sheet-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/kahr_ranking_sheet-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/kahr_ranking_sheet-627x353.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/kahr_ranking_sheet.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kahr CT380 stands in between what most people define as a \u201cpocket pistol\u201d and a compact 380 pistol.
