Is the hole you spray it in on the inside of the slide?

is on the unders die of the slide up by thge breech face. It is the only hole in the bottom of that slide, u can't miss it..

I did the clean & prep on my Wife's and my CW45 today, the spray works great.
Both pistols were fairly dirty, but they should be good to go now.
We just need to get out and shoot those 200 rounds.
My thanks to the forum for all of the great info.

Just noticed the birdshead vaquero on your list. I got the last one our LE Dealer got in. Didn't think I was gonna get one at all.
One of my favorite guns of all. Mines also in 45 LC.

hELL bAWANNA, EVERY gun is your most favorite...

Yeah maybe so, maybe so. No sense of single devotion I guess. Now I got a hankering for a Mares Leg, little sawed off Win 92 in 45 Colt. Think if would fit real nice on the chair in a scabbard.
BUT I'm sure it won't be my favorite, or maybe it will.

Yep, mine is an all stainless old model. My oldest Son gave it to me for my birthday last year, which makes it very special. (my favorite )
I havent even fired it yet, it's still new in the case.
It's a Real Beauty.

Thanks for all the info. I continue to appreciate the CW45 more and more.

Well I think I (typed) spoke too soon. Took the CW45 to the range yesterday and sure enough started to have the same issues. Again I am not limp wristing the gun and have meticulously cleaned and lightly oiled. So Jay responded to my email and the gun will be heading back to the factory first thing tomorrow. If I continue to have this problem may have to sell the damn thing and buy another brand. Bought Kahr because I had heard so many good things about the product...very frustrated!

[jocko]

give kahr the one chance to make you happy and then after that, if not right, peddle it and find a gun that pleases u. Sh-t happens and u got one of them, but kahr will get u running right .. Hopefully kahr is picking up the send me back tab opn your gun as u should not be out any money for their mistake. If not I would again calland talk to them abou tissueing a pre paid pick up..

[Pa Kahr]

Jocko, they are prepaying and yes I am willing to give them a chance, just very frustrated, really like the look and feel, but will be hard pressed to trust in a pressure situation. But again I am going to remain as calm as I can until it comes back. Thanks for offering the advice

[jocko]

Ur best gun that u own as u know can malfunction on the very next shot, . Kahr will get your right, I have no doubt of that and you will soon forget about the past. Glad to see kahr is picking up the gun to. You willget avery fast turn around on it to.

[Pa Kahr]

You are right, and I am impressed so far with the quick response to my problem. Thanks again

[jocko]

well if you have read some of my posts, I stated just his past week of the issue I had with my new Porsche and that at 600 miles it would not run. I like u was not happy but Porsche made me happy and that was over 4 years ago. I put it all behind me and now drive it like I stole it..

[Pa Kahr]

Porsche!!! my dream car....right now the only way i would get one is to steal it...or take the kid out of college..lol

I am a new owner of a CW45, it was surprisingly dirty when it arrived, did a standard cleaning to it, blew the crud out of striker channel, racked the slide a few hundred times, & dropped the striker alot, over the course of a few days in anticipation of my up coming range day. My son & I went to the range & put 206 rounds thru it, ( 200 fmj 230 gr & 6 rounds of remington 185 hollow points ), very glad to say NOT ONE failure ! I did quick clean, ( blew slide out with powder blast, drop or 2 of CLP, reassemble ), at about 160 rounds, & shot the rest of the rounds. Only problem . . . my spare mags had not come in yet . . . we got sore thumbs from constant reloading !!! Overall very happy with it's performance of first " use ", my colt & firestar definately did not fare near as well on their debut at the range !! They are both trusted with my life daily now, & this CW45 will be as well ! Night sites are next !
