I don't know if it's a technique problem or a gun problem, but here are some helpful links on shooting and target shooting diagnostics. There are many sources on the 'Net for answers to almost everything.
Try the techniques in these articles and try shooting from a rest, and have someone else try shooting it. My first few shots out of a Kahr were terrible. I shot it first at the gun store where I bought it. I went in and asked one of the guys working there to give it a try. First shot was dead center... okay, it was my problem. I was used to single-action shooting and had never done much double-action shooting except as required for my military pistol qualification.
As for the gun, if it truly shoots low, I would talk to Kahr. I got a used .45 ACP S&W 645 from a retired U.S. Border Patrol agent and it shot about 9" low at 15 or 25 yards... I don't remember which. I took the front sight off and filed the bottom of it and the base as well. Then I drilled a new mounting hole for the retainer pin and put it back together. I was afraid that I had lowered it too much because I did all of the reduction in height at once. It was pretty much right on vertically, which was great because it has windage correctable rear sights. This is an extreme adjustment or repair and not recommended. I certainly wouldn't do it on a new gun... or a really nice one like the P380, especially with the dove-tail sight mounts.
