Older-model K9 -- Differences / concerns?

[TheMightyLevon]

Haha yes, I've opened myself right up, I know >.> Little man, little hands, hard slides. Considering my last semi-auto was a Ruger LC380 which was painfully easy to rack, this is a big shift.

I married a girl with little hands. It's good for the self esteem. Just sayin'.

It does get a little easier to take down with practice. And make sure you get the slidestop thru the kidney hole when you reassemble. You need to nudge the slide back just a bit to expose the hole. That may have been your reassembly problem.

P.S. You are gonna love that gun!

That's what everyone keeps telling me.. I can't wait to shoot it! I was also pleasantly surprised to find a metal guide rod when I stripped the gun -- from looking at Kahr's parts order website, I was under the impression the guide rod was plastic.

Looking forward to your range report.

Like Bawanna said I just hold my K9 in one hand, keeping the slide pulled back to match the notch on the frame, and I use the base of a magazine to pop the pin out. Mine literally pops out too when I do it (and using a plastic mag base there is no chance it'll scratch my frame).

iheard today tat Savage recalling the POS rifle u bought. Please send it to my address for repairs,. as I am their author8ized service center. we will send u anutter rifle similar indesign, but one that is safer. Just sayin

Shouldn't be that tough buddy. Really. I never heard of their take down block. I know some use like chopsticks to hold it in place.

Don't see how your hands can get shredded, really don't. I'm going through routine cleaning some of my toys, I'll try to take a picture after awhile on how I hold it to get it apart. If I can do it anybody can do it. I'm physically challenged in sooooo many ways.

Kahr once told me that even an idiot can remove the slide on a K series, so when the colonel talks, I know it to be true. Just sayin

[Bawanna]

Guess we all need a purpose in life even if it is being an example of idiots of the world.

[jocko]

everyone has a purpose in life. It gives us all sumpin to compare to. Just sayin

come first of the year colonel, I have decided to be very complimentary to all on this forum. So no doubty I will posting far less to..Just sayin

[TheMightyLevon]

And as an added point of trivia: got a reply from Kahr service -- this particular gun was made in August 1998... I was only 12 haha

[Bawanna]

You wuz 12 in 1998? Why you ain't long out of short pants now.

[Sgt 127]

You wuz 12 in 1998?....

I'd been a cop for 14 years in 1998.....

sigh

[sharpetop]

Hell, I was a cop, salesman and a truck driver by 1998. Three different careers from when I graduated in 1974.
