Kahr Arms P380 Kp38233N 380 2.58 Ns 6R *Ca Blk
The Kahr Arms P380 is a purpose-built micro-compact .380 ACP pistol engineered for serious concealed carry and backup duty. At just 4.9 inches overall and weighing under 10 ounces unloaded, this slim single-action-only design delivers genuine firepower in a package that rides comfortably in a pocket or ankle holster without printing. The P380 combines Kahr's reputation for reliability with genuine fighting features—drift-adjustable night sights, a 2.53-inch Lothar Walther match-grade barrel, and the brand's proven safe cam action—making it a no-compromise choice when deep concealment matters more than round count.
Build quality sets the P380 apart in the micro-compact class. The slide is machined from solid 416R stainless steel bar stock and locked in at 0.75 inches thick; the black polymer frame incorporates 4140 steel inserts fore and aft for structural rigidity where it counts. That match-grade polygonal barrel isn't marketing fluff—it genuinely produces higher velocities with hollowpoint ammunition than conventional rifling, a real advantage in a caliber where every foot-per-second matters. The gun ships with two USA-made, plasma-welded stainless steel magazines loaded with Wolff springs, plus an all-metal magazine catch designed to last.
The P380 accepts drift-adjustable tritium night sights that dovetail directly into the slide, giving you a clear sight picture in low light without bulky night sight towers. The gun lacks a magazine disconnect and does not have double-strike capability—details that matter if you're evaluating it for specific training or carry protocols. The textured polymer grip and thin profile make it controllable despite its size, and the .380 ACP round remains a proven defensive cartridge when loaded with quality ammunition.
Whether you're looking for a dedicated pocket gun, a deep-concealment backup, or a lightweight option for situations where a larger handgun is impractical, the Kahr P380 delivers genuine capability in a package that stays with you all day without fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kahr P380 suitable for pocket carry and deep concealment?
Yes. At 4.9 inches long and just under 10 ounces unloaded, the P380 is specifically designed as a pocket pistol and backup gun. Its thin profile (0.75 inches) and light weight make it practical for deep concealment in situations where a larger handgun isn't feasible.
What sights come standard on this model, and can they be upgraded?
The P380 ships with drift-adjustable tritium night sights that dovetail into the slide. These allow you to keep your sights clear in low light without extra bulk, and they're field-adjustable for windage and elevation.
What magazines come with the P380, and where are they made?
Two USA-made, stainless steel 6-round magazines are included. They're plasma-welded for durability, tumbled to remove burrs, and loaded with Wolff springs for reliable feeding.
Does the P380 have a magazine disconnect or double-strike capability?
No. The P380 does not feature a magazine disconnect, and it does not have double-strike capability. These are intentional design choices that affect how the gun functions when the magazine is removed.
