I was having a problem with my p380 failing to feed when chambering the initial round and also during regular fire. After 200 rounds of Hornady defense rounds & Fiocchi fmj I was still getting 8% failure to feed.

I sent the gun to Kahr and in one week had it back. They polished the extractor, slide stop, feed ramp and replaced the recoil spring.
I have not been to the range yet, but the action feel much smoother. I am able to chamber the first round without using the slide release, even with a full magazine.

I will keep you posted on how things go at the range....if i can find decent ammo

Let us know how it goes. I found that smoothing out the surfaces made a huge improvement in functioning.

You might want to check the OAL on the Fiocchi fmj rounds. The only round my P380 would not feed were Fiocchi 90gr. JHP and I came to the conclusion it was due to the longer AOL than the rest of the other name brand rounds used.

I went to the range this afternoon. Still shooting the fiocchi. The gun was much smoother today. The only time I had a problem was with chambering the first round with a full magazine. If I only load 5 it chambers fine.
I also let my fiance shoot and she had a couple failures to feed but it was her first time with a small DAO and I think she was limp wristing.
I need to find some different ammo and keep at it.

I was thinking, that if we can get a pearce grip extension (+1) I could load 6 and still have room to chamber the 1st round reliably.
Any thoughts on this?

Does the problem with six rounds occur with both mags?

Yes, it does occur with both mags.
It doesnt happen every time but enough to be a pain in the rear.
