Broken follower

[rhd04]

I just noticed the front skirt of the follower on my 7 rnd. Mag. Was missing. I took it apart and found the piece inside. Cleaned it up good and super glued it back together. Guess ill just use that one for the range. I have a total of 4 mags for my pm9 anyway.

Well, you get a "A+" for innovation . . . but, if you have been reading here long, you know Kahr will ship you a free replacement follower in a heartbeat.

I had one break in my PMJ9 same way, never failed either to work. I never even knew it until one day I took my magazine aprt to cleanit and out fell the broken peace. Have no clue how long it might have been broken. It pays to have a spare follower in the parts box.

Mine worked fine too! I inspected it when I thought I heard something rattling around inside it. That's when I noticed it was broken.

Well the super glue didn't work. I ran it about 3 times before she came apart again. So you say kahr will send me one FOC? Do I just email them with a pic. ?

Yes, just send a picture and tell them it broke. They will send you another. If anyone wants to buy a spare follower, they sell a magazine KIT... KIT being the important word... where you can get a follower AND a spring for about $3 more than the spring for $15. Separately, the two parts sell for about $24 something total!

That's what I did. I asked them for a spare as well and got 2 followers in about 3 days

Kahr got back to me today. I should be getting 2 new followers on Monday. I hope I don't keep breaking them. Sounds like this is becoming a common problem

Not a common problem. Pretty rare. But we see the problems posted here while 1000s of happy owners never come on the forum. When people have problems, they come here seeking help. I think you will find that a pretty good percentage of forum members showed up here because they had trouble of some kind with their Kahrs, then they stayed because it is a great forum with great people who make you feel at home.

Idk about that. There's also a lot of people who have broken followers that never came on this site. And some don't even know they have broken followers. Something is causing it.

You Sir have hit the proverbial nail right on the head.

Drinking the Kool-Aid does not make the obvious go away.

know what is causing it, evidently kahr at this time has not come up with a 100% fix yet. rh204,if u feel it is not gonna get better,indeed u should send it back to kahr and let them do what they have to do. It seems once a gun breaks more than one follower, that THAT gun is not gonna get well by itself.

I have experienced one broken followe4 i over 5+_ years. I do't worry about it, but if it did three times ni a short time ,kahr would have it back to make it right.

I personally like cool aid, but I don't drink it with this follower thing. I have stated it before THAT FOLLOWERS SHOULD NOT BREAK Kahr knows that to. I don't think they are turning their backs on this either, . It took them awhile to get the busted magazines issue almost gone. We hardly read of that anymore and if we do it normaly is the older models.

Send it back, Clearances on thise kahrs we know are tight andi n ur case maybe ur clearance is just not gonna get better either. Evidently mine got better and many others have also. I think Wyn had to have an entire new lower before his issue went away.that in itself kinda tells me it is a clearance issue. I think the feed ramp could indeed be shortened to eliminate thhis.

I seen this years ago on the kel tek forum where busted followers were the norm until the RAMPECTOMY was discovered by one of the members. Was not a good thing for a novice to do but it did solve the issue. .It took kel tek a few years to get it right but it eventullayy went away

We cannot make it go away.
