New Cm9 trigger restriking?

[tkosiba]

Successfully shot 100 round, no malfunctions.A few days later working the slide and dry firing, noticed the trigger would restrike multiple times without racking slide.
Did a quick cleaning and trigger restrike still occurs.
Any thoughts?

what do u mean by restrike. is that like just pulling the trigger and the gun acting like it is firing. If u move the slide about a 1/4" it will reset but other wise onc eu pullthe trigger afdter that nuttin should happen until the slide retract enough to reset the trigger. I do not see how in gods greenacre the gun can act like a continius double action. Unless I am mis understand the restrike thing/

I can rack the slide and click the trigger multiple times, over and over again.

[jocko]

do u feel it actually pulllijg back the striker every time or areu justhearing a click5. Know in g how kahrs work I just can't see how that can actually happen. If u had a fired casing u could stick that casing i the chamber and actually see if the striker was hitting that fired primer more thanonce. It should show indentations..

Don't seem possible. One rack of the slide and then you can pull the trigger, feel resistance and then hear the striker fall and you can do this over and over without pulling the slide back at all?

I can't visualize that happening.

Or better yet take a pencil with a good eraser and drop it down the barrel, point towards the ceiling and pull the trigger. Should launch the pencil. Then retrieve it and drop it down again without pulling the slide and see if it launches again.

I can't imagine it's possible but I've been wrong before. I think it 1958 but I might be wrong on that too.

I have shot many platforms, 1911, Glock, etc.There is definitely a heavy pull and a striker release. Not just a simple, light, click.
Sometimes after several restrikes, the trigger will reset with no resistance, like normal.

Man ... I'm getting real paranoid.

First there's a guy on another thread with a stuck slide that has all the experts stuck.

And now here's a guy on this thread with a trigger that's never stuck and that has all the experts stuck.

I'm at least six weeks away from getting my permit and taking possession of my CM9 waiting at the gun store for me ... what's going to be wrong with mine when I finally get it in my trembling hands?

[jocko]

bawanna suggestion is PROOFF IN THE PUDDIN. If it shoots a penncil after that first trigger pull, then sumpin is not right, although some might like whatur gunis doin to. kinda like a double striked thing in case of a misfire. If it will shoot apencil as far as the first trigger pull then u got sumpin i cannot explain...
test the colonels suggestion, kills me to say it, but it is the best suggestion.

The experts haven't arrived to this thread yet. Me I'm a poser, Jocko is probably closer to an expert than most.

I can't see it resetting itself, just don't seem possible.

Your's will probably be just fine. Don't worry till ya got something to worry about and not even then. We'll figure it out or after a trip to the mother ship they will figure it out.

Unless it is a Kel Tec, then i don't think there's a cure for that.

Ray, you are reading posts from 2 people on a Kahr forum. What you are not seeing is the thousands and thousands of happy CM9 owners, of whom only a few come here and post their satisfaction with ther CM9s. Don't get your panties in a wad. Read a few dozen of the posts in this thread:

OK. Tried pencil down barrel. No push out.Took gun apart and oiled in front of striker/cam hole. Parts seem to lock and snap. Plunger springing properly.


Called tech. support and individual advised he never heard of this problem. Only to send back. Removing striker cover voids warranty. Hmm...


Bottom line, racking slide is not cocking striker. Any other thoughts? Hate to return over a burr or something. Worked on Glocks and 1911's. Doesn't seem too complex. Any thoughts?

[tkosiba]

Another thought, when properly cocked, how far back does striker return? 1/8" or much further. Maybe striker is stuck in channel from dry fire?

[tkosiba]

Researched cocking cam and realized, it's probably the bottom, not the upper slide.After a more thorough inspection of high cam angle to release slide plunger/striker, noticed some left edge micro jagged marks. Best guess, it's sliding cam issue.


Can the experts chime in? I'm told they are out there :-).
