Magazine bullet nose dive

[Pogi]

JFootin: I think we should let the post stay since I TennSCN has made a comment on it, lest we break the thread.

TennSCN: Please note that this thread started with a P40. The second mod by Jimsea was about an 9mm mag, as I said apples and oranges, I do not want P40 gun owners to get confused as I was.

Jimsea: Your video on YouTube shows you cycling the rounds using the stock follower and then the modded follower. May I ask the kind of mod you are refering to in the video, is it the slingshot mod by Greg, or Brent's rear upper follower mod, or is it both?

Brent: Excuse me, I think I had too much coffee that time but my post #42 was a reply to Jimsea's post #26 as correctly pointed out by TennSCN.

Thanks guys!

And the reason, I think, sticky info type threads should be locked and left to stand on the info within.
Can you imagine reading 5-20 pages, looking for the nuggets of wisdom, only to waste your time reading what I'm typing here, when most ALL GOOD info was within the part that made it sticky worthy
Wait I just posted to a sticky thread

Sorry for what I typed right there,
I'm an idiot

Great photos and a good solution! Thanks!

Looks like comcast has chosen to block my emails from the gun websites I visit because I haven't received any notifications of recent posts in this thread. Email address is changed now and I refuse to use Comcast any more.

Lots of good info has been added since my original post. My P40 has been a really great handgun. I had only a couple of nosedive issues early on, but after the mod to the magazine I've had zero. Hand racking the slide continues to work perfectly no matter how fast or slow I release it.

Dang! I hope that's not true... I'm thinking of dropping DISH when I get my house re-roofed and going with Comcast Xfinity and 20+ Mbps Internet speeds!

I had comcast at home (TV only) they had really bad service if anything went wrong. We have comcast internet at work - about $139 a month and we get abour 26 megs down and 5 megs up (northern CA). They have been excellent for business service.

I asked them about home service and they said it would be about 5 to 6 megs down (which is good enough for HQNetflix) but I still don't trust them - I'm afraid they will limit bandwidth if you are not watching their stuff. We have Dish Network - and they have been okay - but no internet - I'm waiting - and will probably wait forever - for Verizon to get to my area.

Comcast internet and cable tv is fine, but they have changed something with their email service that doesn't allow me to get notifications from my gun sites I visit. I'm using free gmail for that now and getting the notifications again.

I had Comcasst when I was back in Atlanta. I had subscribed to recieve weather emails twice a day from a local TV station. Worked fine for a few years. Then, they stopped coming. I found out Comcasst was filtering them out. I contacted them, telling them that it was not junk mail but something I subscribed to. Even gave them the IP Address of the source. They informed me that they don't listen to such submissions from customers and that I should have the station's web master contact them and plead the case for his stuff not being junk. As if!!! I think it is part of the business model for cable companies to try and offer the worst CS that they can, thinking it will somehow keep costs down and improve profits. I am with Charter where I am now because it is an apartment and they don't allow sattelite dishes. Same kind of crapass service as Comcasst. :31:

I want to bring this up with the Kahr guys Friday at the NRA convention to see if this has gotten any attention within the company and if not, hopefully educate them about it a little.

Yahoo email is great for this.

Did you get to talk to any representative's from Kahr about the magazine issues?

Yes, but it didn't really go anywhere. The two I brought it up with we're both sales reps and I could tell weren't really getting it. They gave me the "kahrs have been extensively tested up to 10,000 rounds" answer. One of them said he'd look into it.

[voyager4520]

I wonder if followers from 1911 magazines of the same caliber would work in Kahr magazines?

I would not expect sales reps to have alot of knowledge about the makngs of kahrs. their job is to sell the product,not diaganose it. they usually are not engineers or anything like that . Some sales reps to,, IMO are just like some cops. IT IS A JOB, no more no less

I have been wanting to do that on my cm9 9mm and you have given me the courage and instructionsto do it. Thanks Brent
