No matter how good your handloads may be (and not saying they aren't), Kahrs are not handloader-friendly pistols, i.e., they are only recommended for and warranted to function with factory new ammunition. The chamber dimensions are on the "tight" side of spec.
I would hold off on that until you've had a chance to try factory new JHP. The fact that it digested the FMJ handloads means there are no egregious defects in workmanship, at least.71Commander

My PM9 and PM40 eats all my handloads without a jam. In fact my 40 load is a 155 GDHP W/ 9.0 gr of Longshot @ 1235 fps chronoed.
I will figure out a load for this gun.

the kahrs are great.
i JUST BOUGHT AND SOLD TO MY GOOD RIDING BUDDY A pm9 USED OFF OF A FELLA for $300. itwas made in 2004 and it looks totally new. Both magazines, case and instructions came with it. We went right out and put 200 rounds down range without one hic cup. this was a steal IMO. I had no aprehensions about buying it even knowing it was made 4 years ago. Good guns should not change . I did exchange the upgraded recoil assembly that now has the 1/2 washer type thingy that goes against the barrel. the origihnal was 3/8" and kahr had upgraded that a few years ago. I should have kept it for my self but he had shot and seen my PM9 and wanted one..

My PM0 and PM40 shoot 100% using nothing but reloads. The 40 is one of my favorite guns. What a sweet shooter.
I just ordered 500 bullets for the 380 from this place: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=459572
They look like Gold Dots.

Kahr and just about every other manufacturer will tell you this. If everyone listened to manufactures no one would reload.

Jocko: Do you like the P380 as much as your PM9? Any issues?
No i like my PM9 much more. love the firepower. it conceals for me "almost"
as easy as the P380. The only issue I had withthe P380 was that it would not feed 102 grain golden sabres without engaging the slide lock lever. I file dit back some what and it is ok but occasionally it willfail to lock open becuase I think I filed off to much but I don't carry a spare magazine so whenI carry the 102 sagres, I really don't care. funtion wise it has been great.and I shoot it better than my PM9 and I just can't understand that either, but I do. Do I like it though? Yes it is a well made little picket rocket and eaks in quality. I will put nite sights on it when availalble. The P380 sights are awesome compared to most little pocket 380"s.
