  • Kahr not working in the cold?

    Well I left mine in the freezing pole barn overnight, I'll see how it works later when the sun comes up.

    It's lubed from a CAN of 3 in 1 oil from the '70's

    No problem, gun was left out for 24 hours in below freezing temps,23 for 23.
    It's warmed up now.

      What kind of kahr and what is it not doing?
      The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

      Want to see what will be the end of our country as we know it???

        CW9 , it's not freezing up in the cold, it shoots. I read somewhere here that a fella was having issues with a Polymer frame Kahr not shooting well after it got cold. Kahr CS said the gun wasn't designed to be cold since it's designed as a concealed weapon meant to be close to the body.

        This time it will be outside until Sundays range trip. I don't shoot on the last day of the week, I rest.

          IMO if it is not greasedup with a lub that gellslike mudd , I see no reasonwhy the cold should effect any kahr. TW25 lube/grease willnot freeze upk, but again it is desinged for gun use to. There are aot of good gun lubes out there be they grease type or oil type that willnot gell up.

          IMO no reason why a cold ass kahr should not function right. Just sayin.

          It is 33 here and I guess I could sit my PM9 out all night and test it but I would have to shoot my neighbor (to testit out) as the range is about 5 miles away I I just don't feel like testin sumpin to prove any point.
          . My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

                  Hi Guys, brand new CM9 owner here but I am having a problem

                  I left it in the freezer and pulled it out to shoot it but I licked the side where the slide release is and my tongue is stuck to it. I put 50 rounds of WWB through it but it failed to cycle the next round through about 50% of the time.



                  I paid a lot for this gun and think it should work regardless of what conditions I shoot it in.

                  Should I call Kahr and ask for a return authorization?

Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

                    I had a cw45 that had a trigger reset issue when hot but I fixed that.

                      You should call the doctor

                        Now that's one strong tongue muscle!
                        On the internet, the number of posts do not correlate to actual knowledge.
                        The notch is supposed to be there as well as the bulge at the front of the frame!

                          I left the CW9 out in the freezing cold, with extra 3 in 1 oil since Friday. Today the only issue was the magazines. They ran out of bullets.

                          3 range trips, 70 rounds total fired of mixed O.A.L. reloads feed, fired , extracted, ejected as designed.

                          I'll strip[ it down, clean it and lube it with my new bottle of Slip 2000.
