After a less than stellar start with my KT 380 (it quit after 23 rds!) I finally got it back from KelTec today after they repaired it. So far I'm a happy camper. I put about 80 rds of my cast reloads through it without a hitch, function was 100%! A friend ordered some bullets from Missouri Bullet and I added some 105 gr TC cowboy bullets to his order for the KT and loaded them over 2 grs of Bullseye. Have no idea how fast they're going but they are accurate, function 100%, and don't lead so I'm happy. They are sized .358 and I loaded them that way (barrel slugged .356) with no problems chambering etc. This is a neat little carry gun. I have to do something with the end of the trigger as it's got the end of my trigger finger a little sore after 80 rds.

Good news! I had one and it was first gen and it worked fine. Carried it loaded with ball ammo, and I loaded for it with cast 120gr. Lee bullets. Worked great.

I have about 1000+ rounds through mine , mostly all cast. its still running fine .
I agree with you the trigger has a casting/moulding line thats bothersom . i sanded mine smoothe with the dremmel and sandpaper.

I need to buy some bullseye for my daughters 380. I've loaded up 100 grain TC cast over 2.6gr WW231. It hurts the hand. After a couple dozen shots you are ready to quit. That's a start laod powder charge.

Little Kel Teck is very accurate for a pocket pistol. Stays under 4" at 25 yards.
