CW45 Fell APART At Range (During Break period)

[edinero]

Good Day guys, I am a new Kahr Owner and to this forum. I recently purchased a CW45 And let me say I did my research and Knew of some issues with the gun but didn't think Mine would fall apart on me during the 200 break in at the range. the first mag went smooth upon the second mag after first shot smooth each round after would jam, the slide stop would begin to pop out like it was loose and the entire gun looked as it was falling apart. The mag would drop out of the gun without contact of release. I am very dissapointed but I really like this gun, The gun went back to the dealer that sold it to me and awaits to go back to kahr. worst part also I had ordered trijicon night sights and they are out for delivery today and my gun is at my local dealer who sold me the gun ;(. needless to say I was very embarrassed at my local gun range.

Sorry to hear that man. I've never heard of that happening. Were you shooting reloads or factory ammo? Let us know what happends with Kahr.

Take care,

That sucks. I dont know why you would be embarrassed.. its a machine. It happens.

Jay from kahr has been on top of this for me today and speaking with my local dealer who has the gun to get picked up ASAP. The reason I was embarrassed was because the gun was un safe and falling apart at a public range meaning it could have caused an accident and maybe worse. I didn't expect that from a new machine.

What's up with the CW45 lately? Did the P380 quality control team get reassigned to them?

[JCP281]

That why I dont like big calibers in small pistols. Seems like every gun of this type has issues with the .45 and .40. To much of newtons 3rd law for the pistol to handle(IMO of course).

Mind you Jay from kahr advised be born date and it was March 2011. WOW what luck I have...

no doubt a bad slide stop spring, and then one thing leads to another. probably best to send it back on the dealers dime, I do think this forum couldhave got you through this but again, at no expense to u, let kahr have it back. I would not consider what your gun did as falling apart.. but I guess that is alos in the eyes of the beholder to..

[edinero]

Jocko, If I could have taken a picture before the range police came to station and advised to drop the gun and stop shooting I would have and let you decide if it was falling apart but you might be right. The gun is being picked up today on there dime and back to the mother ship for hopefully a correction to the many issues.

[jocko]

heh, no problem, get it fixed right.

I was firing Brand New Federal FMJ Ammo. No reloads and never will use reloads.

Sorry to here of the issues with your new pistol edinero (BTW, welcome to the forums).
I'm curious about the slide stop and the CW falling apart. Did the slide stop fall out or just pop out from the frame a bit? Did it do it more than once?
Regards,
Greg

Thanks GB For the welcome! I wish it was on better terms , The slide stop at one point was one more shot from coming out entirely before I just shut the shooting down for safety reasons. Also the mag dropped and many Jams and times I would pull the trigger and nothing would go bang.

[JCP281]

Sounds like Kahr forgot to put a gun in the box. Hard to imagine all that going wrong with 1 pistol.

I just confirmed that my CW45 Has just been received at the Mother-ship (KAHR FACTORY) Turnaround is 1-2 weeks advised by Kahr Customer Service. I hope they can get it right
