Kahr P380 Handgun .380 Auto 6rd Magazine 2.58″ Barrel Black Stainless LCI Night Sights CA Compliant

Kahr's P380 packs a .380 ACP chambering, tritium night sights, and a micro-compact frame into under ten ounces — a configuration that draws serious attention from Bay Area buyers who want genuine pocket carry without sacrificing low-light capability. TacticCAL carries it as a DOJ Roster listed handgun, ready for California DROS.

The P380's Role: Deep-Cover Backup or Standalone Pocket Gun

The P380 earns its place as either a dedicated pocket carry piece or a backup to a larger primary — not a range toy, not a home-defense anchor. At 9.97 ounces without a magazine and a .75-inch slide width, it disappears into a front pocket in a way that most compact 9mms simply don't. The trigger-cocking DAO operation and passive striker block mean no external safety to manage under stress. The included 6-round and 7-round extended magazines let you choose between absolute minimal profile and a slightly more substantial grip. Drift-adjustable tritium night sights on a gun this size are genuinely uncommon — Kahr made a real choice there. A Galco or Safariland pocket holster rounds this out cleanly.

Frequently asked questions

What magazines come with the Kahr P380, and can I get additional ones?

The P380 ships with one 6-round stainless magazine and one 7-round magazine with an extended base. The 7-rounder adds a bit of grip length. ProMag and Kahr-branded spares are worth sourcing before your pickup day.

Is the Kahr P380 actually light enough for all-day pocket carry, or does the stainless slide add noticeable weight?

Kahr lists the pistol at 9.97 ounces without the magazine — that's genuinely light. The matte stainless steel slide over a black polymer frame keeps weight down while maintaining slide durability. Most pocket-carry users report forgetting it's there.

What should I line up during the 10-day wait after my DROS submission?

Use the time to source a CA-compliant locked transport container for the drive home, pick up .380 ACP ammunition for your first range session, and find a Galco or similar pocket holster sized for the P380. Schedule range time so you're ready to go at pickup.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm.

What do I need to bring for DROS in California?

Bring a valid California driver's license or ID card, proof of residency, your Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC), and payment for the firearm and transfer fees.

What is an FFL transfer in California?

An FFL transfer is when a federally-licensed dealer like TacticCAL receives a firearm shipped from another seller and processes California's required DROS paperwork to legally transfer it to you. Looking for FFL dealer Berkeley? Here's our flat-rate process.
