I noted that it says all "points" BUT 2, 3, & 5 without elaborating later. Those look to me to be points where I would use grease like Shooter's Choice in the syringe pack.

The other inference would be that one is using a Q-tip except at 2, 3, & 5.

I've always taken this to infer that using something larger, say a cleaning patch, works better on the "big" parts. Many people use patches to do the whole job.

I always use a tiny bit of TW25b on the areas where oil is prone to migrate or under higher stresses.

The chart is overall a terrific aide, especially for the novice shooter or new Kahr owner IMHO.

Love TW25, for me just har dto beat that lube, it doesn't run and stay right there..

Great info. Made a copy and I'll keep it with the instruction manual.

The two springs on my guide rod (PM9) appear to be captured. Can/should/must the springs be taken off in order to lube the guide rod?

I'd say definitely NOT. That inner spring is a pain in the back side to get back on and the retainer nut shouldn't be messed with if it's tight and not working loose. Many have had them fall off at range. The gun still runs but you need to get a new one.

At most I'd just put a drop or two of oil on it thru the spring and let it go.

Most only replace the outer spring when the time comes and just leave the inner spring as is.

[jocko]

exactly what Bawanna says is the proper procedure. The outter spring on ur PM9 should slip right off..

I wish I researched things better !

Met a guy out in NV desert that raved about his Kahr. All these sensitive lube points. My sig sauer p-229 doesn't require all those lube points. Its been flawless for 18 years.

[JFootin]

Yes, but your Sig isn't nearly as compact as Kahr guns, with all of the machinery occupying minimum space.

I oiled parts 7 and 8 and this past weekend I disassembled my slide and there was a ton of oil in the firing pin chamber. I think I am now going to oil the corresponding contact points in the frame. And maybe use grease instead of oil.

How does that sound?
