I had the frame on mine relaced a few months back. The pistol had to go through the transfer and paperwork thing again. I'm in CA and I bet that first p380 with the bad frame is still listed under my name somewhere.
I had a little trouble with break in on it, it would go about 50 rounds and then start to sow down and stovepipe - I ended up finding some "Lumps" on the bottom of the barrel and polished the bejeezus out of them with my dremel (beware the dremel!) It really helped. The gun runs 100% with any good ammo now.
One thing that really helped me with the Kahr was understanding how the pistol needs to be held and also the variations in different ammo.
I learned to shoot it correctly by watching only the ejected case. This is harder to do than you might think! I ignored the front sight and target. I was amazed at what I learned. First thing I learned was some of my jams were my fault from letting the gun rotate to the right (I'm a lefty) It would always stovepipe when I did that.
The other thing I learned is the 50 to a box range ammo is just that - range ammo - The power deviation between different rounds can be substantial enough so that some will barely operate the slide.
The P380 is a great gun - I now own 2 and love them!
