Proper prep of a new kahr

[Cougar8000]

Well, it appears that just racking it back and forth using your hand power works just as well.

A week ago finally got to the range and unloaded 250 rounds. Every one of them left the gun with a bang and no issues what so ever. I FREAKING LOVE THIS GUN. Thank you all for providing the info.

The only thing that I need to do to it is take care of the magazines not coming out all the way. When released it moves about and inch and stops. I am told there is a thread on that as well I just haven't found it yet. I will keep on looking, but if anyone has a finger on the trigger and thread is loaded in the chamber and you want to fire it to my PM or post it here please be my friend and fire away

Ohoh. The accuracy of the gun. At 21 feet from the first round fired until the last one I have had them grouped in 2x3 single handed left and right. Two hands all in 1x1. Even when target was mover all the way back I was still able to maintain a dissent grouping one handed. That is fantastic accuracy from the brand new little gun

Another more recent post said to use like 600 to 800 grit sandpaper wrapped around the top of a mag and secured with double stick tape. Slide it in and out of the mag well a few times, try a mag, do it some more, try again until the mag drops free. It just smooths things out in there a little bit; doesn't really remove much plastic. And it will work for every mag you have.

Thanks for the post.
In preparation for P380 work over and since I can not source Flitz here locally.
The question would be ...
Flitz Paste... or Liquid...

Any input appreciated..

Paste work best.

I use the paste too, I just slightly polish the rails just enough to smooth them out. I've done that, along with lube ( I like FP10 and Ballistol), I rack the slide about 500 times to help smooth things out more. I've never had an issue out of any of my 3 Kahrs.

I had a few times in the first 250 rounds with it not feeding the 3rd or 4th round with the extended mag but the last 250 or so have been event free. I'm even learning how to aim the little sucker too. I never would have thought after going most of my 45yrs without owning a pistol that I'd have 3 since getting my cc in late May. Now I'm thinking about a 1911 45. Any suggestions?

[Bawanna]

There's a pile of 1911's to choose from in a wide price range.

I suggest inquiring in the 1911 thread or the general discussion area so we can keep this thread on track for maintenance and prepping issues.

Lots of 1911 guys here as well.

Well, you've already got a harley, so you might as well go full mid life crisis and buy a 1911 too. Personally I am a 1911 and harley (or most any motorcycle) dissenter, I can't see a reason to own either. Glad your Kahr is settling in.

Great information here! Taking Joko's advice all the way through. This is a nice forum to be a part of. As posted I have two guns I'm trying for the weekend. LC9 & CM9. Will run a few hundred rounds through both this weekend if the hurricane Sandy doesn't mess up the weather in the Carolinas. Will post decision on Monday. The chosen weapon will be my back up on duty & off-duty carry all. Any opinions from you experienced Kahr owners is appreciated.
