Bug on a hot rock dance

[Iggy]

Just sent a new Kahr CW 45 back for replacement or repair of short front slide rails. Found the problem thanks to this forum.

Anybody have a feel for how soon the gun will be returned? I've seen things from several months to 7 or 8 days.

Like the title says. I'm dancin' around like a bug on a hot rock, waiting for it to get back.

For this issue it's usually pretty quick. I suspect the only reason for any delay would be not having a new frame on hand and waiting for one off the line.

Unlike some undiagnosed issues they may have to figure out this is a slam dunk so should be fast.

Keep us posted. Pour some water on the rock, stay cool.

[Iggy]

OK thanks.

[yqtszhj]

Mine took about 7-8 days i think.

[Grizwold]

Mine was less than a week.

[Iggy]

Thanks, mine has been gone close to two weeks. Maybe my FFL Will be calling soon.

[yqtszhj]

Fyi, mine went straight to my FFL. I didn't get an email from Kahr just a call from my FFL.

[Iggy]

Yup, I reckon my FFL will call me when it arrives.

Don't count on it. I don't know your FFL, maybe they are super but most of mine don't seem to be as anxious to get my gun back as I am myself.

Last gun I ordered I told them to call me and I'd be right over to pick it up. I called to check and they said oh yeah, it came in, we'll do the paperwork and you can pick it up tomorrow. I told them finish the paperwork now, I'll be there in 10 minutes. I was there in 8.

Shops get busy, things are as urgent for them as they are for the recipient.

As yqtszhj said there probably won't be any contact from Kahr, it just shows up.

^^^ That's kinda what I was thinking. I see a picture where you call the FFL and they say; "Yeah, it got here last week."

The kids that run this pawn shop are good family friends. Their Dad and I go back over 40 years in the gun buyin' and tradin' bidness.. I'm bettin' they call me the minute it gets in.

Only trouble is, my patience has went to the same place my memory is goin'.

Take good care of a shop like that. I used to have a shop like that. Bought a ton of guns from them, had my wifes phone number on the wall and they often called and asked permission on my behalf.
Best instance was when the Colt officers model came out. I wanted one soooo bad. I was a saving and such and finally had the loot. I hustled over after work already wearing a shoulder holster for it and when I go there, there wasn't one in the case.
I asked a new kid working there where my officers model was. He asked if I had it ordered or set aside and I had to admit not exactly.
The owner came around the corner and opened the safe and pulled it out. Said he knew I'd be back so he just set it aside.
He grabbed a box of Speer Gold Dots off the shelf, loaded the mag chambered a round and handed it to me and I put it in the holster.
Another fella filling out paperwork, didn't have a CPL and had to wait 5 days asked why I could just walk in and get a loaded gun set aside and not even ordered. Told him it was a long story.

They are still in business just a little too far to go now days. Still get a Christmas card every year and I try to take over some of the wifes cookies once in awhile.

You find a good dealer, take care of them, getting harder to find now days.

Their Dad was the main character in a skit I wrote about mountain men in Wyoming. Like I said, we go waaay back!!

A story from my home page. There's more.

That's excellent Iggy, read every word and hope to come back and read some of the others too.

Short rails in the CW45 frame?

Is that where it binds up when you squeeze the top of the slide & the bottom of the frame under the muzzle? If so, mine does that. Is that something that needs repair like the OP's? My CW45 is about 3 years old, but it runs pretty good.
