    I called Kahr this morning and got a RMA #. They said that they will be sending me a pre-paid shipping label.

    See the thread I started about this in the tech forums here: http://www.kahrtalk.com/showthread.p...692#post220692

      Jumping in late here but a couple weeks ago I was out at the range with my P9 and the warmest it got was around -16 degrees Fahrenheit. We were out in that cold from about 9am until 3pm with a few breaks to warm up. I shot a couple hundred rounds through my P9 without a single failure. I was very impressed. The P9 handled the cold better than me!

        I never checked cold weather function until today.

        This morning I installed the 5lb striker spring. Everything worked trigger a tad lighter with the spring.

        Tonight after the gun sat in the car all day. 26F on the drive home.

        Got back inside unloaded gun and tried the trigger... Just to feel that now lighter trigger. Oops something is wrong. Trigger travelled full travel without firing. As gun warmed the trigger travel to fire started to get iffy at full travel and got shorter and shorter (within minutes) until it was back to normal.

        This is definately something about the polymer frame contracting/expanding. Changing the striker spring wouldn't affect any geometry of the action.

        Something worth considering if one stores their gun in a car in cold weather and expects it to go bang.
