Kahr Lube Diagram

[david8613]

I'm not new to guns but in these parts i am, im reading all this kahr info. it is great for a new kahr owner like myself, its appreciated. my pm 9 was super tight even though it was used between 200 to 300 rounds, I have done the clean, lubed with just oil and racked the slide a whole bunch of times as suggested on this forum but she still feels tight, so today I broke it down again, cleaned her again but this time I used hoppes grease with oil, much better the slide is moving easier now, it seems to me kahrs like grease... i can't wait to take this puppy out for nice a walk...

Did you use the Hoppes #9 Gun Grease or something different by them...gotta get some oil this week.

That's what I keep telling folks but the experts don't always agree. One thing to keep in mind is to ignore lube point 7. You should run the striker assembly dry.

Actually, glad I saw this part...I was doing the drop of oil on point 7...I guess I missed that from the previous ton of posts...LOL

yep thats what I used, big difference compared to just oil alone, I use ballistol oil, which is pretty good it's thick, but my pm9 likes grease. it's so much smoother now and easier to rack, less resistance even though you can still feel there is a very powerful spring in there.

Mine like Tetra Gun Grease. Actually all of my guns like that stuff.

Hmmf... Just picked up a used TP9. Didn't come with the manual. It was fairly dry and a bit dirty so I sat down today and did a field strip and cleaning.

Read some here, and I looked at the lube diagram and watched a couple vids online. I guess I didn't see the part about not oiling the striker parts until after spraying everything down with remoil to clean it. Let things sit to soak and wiped it all down really well. I used a thin layer of gun lube grease on the places listed on the pic. put it together and worked the slide and trigger a few times. Took it back apart and wiped it all down again to remove excess grease.

So my question now is should I shoot it in its current condition or break it down and use break cleaner on the striker channel and/or the trigger guts first? A friend who shoots berettas said he runs his guns on tge wetter side. Are Kahrs meant to run on the dry side except the rails?

By the way I use CLP break free on inside of the barrel. Everywhere else gets Remoil and lube points get Montana extreme gun grease.

Just read the Kahr manual online:

Cleaning & Lubrication
Before the initial shooting of the new KAHR Pistol, the pistol should be disassembled following the instructions in this manual and cleaned with a commercial gun cleaning solvent. After each shooting session, the cleaning process should be repeated to remove firing residue from the inside and outside of the Barrel, Slide, Frame and Magazine.

Once cleaned, all parts should be lightly lubricated with a commercial gun lubricant. Follow solvent and lubricant manufacturer’s instructions.

The handgun should be kept clean and properly lubricated at all times. Lubricants can evaporate over time. Therefore, lightly lubricate the hand- gun once a month whether or not it has been fired. Be sure your handgun is FULLY UNLOADED (Magazine removed and chamber empty) before performing any cleaning or main- tenance.

I'd blow out the striker channel with brake cleaner and leave the rest alone until the next cleaning if it were me.

I was thinking the same. A short blast but where exactly to spray it? Watched the detail strip video just now. Whoa that's a lot of small parts in a crammed area.

In the picture of the lube points you posted earlier, pull 7 back as far as you can with a fingernail and using the tube that comes with the brake cleaner give it a good squirt in the striker hole in the breech face and the hole by the lower arrow for # 9
