Kahr P380: New micro compact .380 carry pistol
Next month Kahr Arms will be shipping the P380, a new .380 pistol that is even smaller than the Kel-Tec P3AT.
Along with the fairly new Ruger LCP, competition in the .380 compact carry niche is really heating up.
The P380 features a DAO trigger, 6+1 capacity and is obviously chambered in .380 ACP. Much the same specs as the Ruger LCP and Kel-Tec P3AT.

Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
You have a typo, it is Kahr, not Khar.
Thanks Mguy, it is now fixed.
[...] Man, everyone is making them these days. Check out Kahr’s 380. [...]
Whats the cost on this?
Kahr’s tend to be more expensive - and I think they are going to have a tough time competing with the success of Kel Tec (as well as Kel Tec’s industry leading customer service) unless they price their guns similarly.
Ruger too - though Ruger probably has a name/brand recognition advantage over both.
It’s also DAO, not DOA. Unless you mean the trigger is dead on arrival, which I doubt ‘cuz my PM9 has a wonderful trigger.
Thanks for this info! I may move the PM9 to IWB & put one of these (full of Cor-Bons) in my pocket.
[...] like Kahr arms has jumped into the pocket rocket market with a .380 as well. I’m still debating on whether to get a pistol of this class myself. [...]
Wonder how it compares to the North American Arms Guardian in .380? The NAA is heavy, but I find the recoil is enough that I’d want the weight…I can’t hit the broadside of a barn with my son’s Keltec in .32…too small, too light, too easy to slide off target while squeezing the last bit of trigger pull.
@ Jake:
haha, thanks.
[...] Kahr’s going to start shipping a new .380 pistol next month. This one’s in the same market as the Kel-Tec P3AT and the Ruger LCP. [...]
