CW45 Long Break In

[Pa Kahr]

I just received an email that my CW45 is on its way back. 48 hours after arriving at the Kahr repair facility. That is mighty fast turn around. I hope all is fixed and this is the end of the problem. 48 hour turn around..?? fingers crossed

I am a new owner of a CW45. . . my spare mags had not come in yet . . . we got sore thumbs from constant reloading !!!

Wow, CW45 "spare" magazines reload themselves?
Anyway ya load 'em... I s'pose.

Picked up my CW45 today, got Jocko's stickies bookmarked and ready to give her a good prep and cleaning. I had a can of electronics cleaner and found the nozzle tube for it, so will use that in the clean out hole. Got 200 rounds of WWB round nose for break in, probably go down to Gander Mountain and see what they have for self defense in .45. Seems like last time I was there I was a little disappointed that they didn't carry more different brands of HP ammo.
Probably shoot as many of the first 200 as I can, then load the mag with some good SD ammo, and keep it around the house until I can get down and put another couple hundred through it. After that, if she proves reliable, she'll be my new primary carry piece.
Walmart has the 230 gr Federal Personal Defense hp's if you get there on "ammo" day. I figured that, or some Golden Sabre, or some Gold Dot should do the trick.
Have to go to Gander Mountain or one of the indoor shooting ranges for the Gold Dot and Golden Sabres. Gander Mountain usually has a better selection than the ranges do. Might look around the next gun show for some Winchester Ranger with the Talon bullet. That's always been a favorite of mine in about any caliber. Those are wicked little bullets. Still have a mag of 9mm Black Talons stashed away. Wonder how long they last? They're in a gun safe nice and dry. Don't shoot that old Star Model 30 very often anymore. That was my first semi-auto pistol I ever bought, and the only 9mm I have. I bought it back when all the cops were switching to high capacity 9mm's. Got a great deal on it from a guy that sold guns out of his house back before the ATF was such a bear to deal with and more people had FFL's. It's a real sturdy gun, and shoots real nice and is accurate, but it stovepipes a little too often for me to carry. Not real bad, maybe one stovepipe in 100-200 rounds. I just figure it would happen at the worse possible moment if I carried it. Plus it's a little heavy. Close to the same weight as a full sized 1911. Would have shot those Black Talons up by now, but figured maybe someday some collector might want them.
Ok, 'nuff ramblin out of me. Take Care everyone.

I like the Gold Dots and the Winchester T stuff too. My PM45 and others all seem to digest it well so it works for me.

Melissa sent a link on another thread to GT Distributors with a decent price on the Gold Dot, not sure what other brands they carry.
Also unclear if they only sell to LE but there was another distributor in that same thread.

Hurts to pay big bucks for the carry stuff but nice to have at least a couple boxes after a box or two to confirm they run.

Got the CW45 back today. According to the invoice they had to replace the ectractor and polish the ejector. Seven days and repairs seem to be completed. So I guess I can give Kahr customer service a thumbs up..no complaints. Now off to the range in a few days to put a few rounds down range.

I must be tired that is "replace the extractor"
