Tight .45 chamber

[Ikeo74]

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The problem isn't a short chamber. It's an extra tight chamber. Some rounds protrude out the barrel hood. The case mouth and the bullet don't come any where near the rifling or the head space mark. I stuck a dowel down the barrel to measure the distance the bullet goes in.

Also these same factory rounds will go through a Lee Factory Crimp Die without having to tighten the crimp. My original post was to ask if anyone else had a tight chamber issue.

Also I wrote there's the issue of the plating peeling the entire length of the bottom of the chamber. I find this to be unexceptable. I know others here including my son have this issue. We have 2 Elite 98 K9's and 2 PM9's from around 2000, with more rounds through them I believe than any one else here has. There's no peeling anywhere.

We were going to buy a P9 or a K9 for my grand daughter, but because of the cosmetically flawed pieces that are now coming out from Kahr I'll look somewhere else.

Take a look at the Springfield XDS or XDM Series. The barrel and feed ramp are not plated and the gun will run 100% right out of the box. If you want something smaller, check the Remington RM80. It is also 100% out of the box and the barrel has no plating.
