Well my CW40 is going back today
Bought mine just a few days ago . 1st shot it wouldn't feed all the way into chamber.After 200 rounds through it it still won't feed first shot,and that after releasing slid stop. Then after I pushed slide in and fired, slide would lock open ,then release slide stop and maybe it would chamber and maybe it wouldn't. 2nd and 3rd shot would lock the slide again. Then on 4th,5th and 6ths the gun would function fine. So called Kahr up and they immediately gave me a shipping authorization #. So off it goes.

Been there, done that, sucks, but hopefully it will come back 100% functional. That's the best thing you could do, though, send it right back to them.
Good luck on a full repair and quick turn around. It will be worth the wait.

Have faith Iron Worker, I had to send my CW45 back to Kahr, and they had it back in my hands in exactly 7 days. It's been flawless since. I hope you get the same speedy turnaround and great repair job.Tom

So how is your CW40
Do you trust both your CW's what work did they do on yours ?Originally posted by thetmanski View PostComment

If you're the same Iron Worker that posted this problem on another forum......
Hope you took everyone's advice and went out and bought some real gun oil and lube instead of using WD 40.
Edited to add - See that you took everyone's advice. Heck of a bunch of piling on that the WD 40 reference got you
FWIW - my CW 9 has never had any problems that was not caused by anything other than some of my real weak reloads.On the internet, the number of posts do not correlate to actual knowledge.
The notch is supposed to be there as well as the bulge at the front of the frame!

Using WD40 on a gun is like using kerosene for motor oil in your Lexus. Not good.•"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end." - O. L.

I agree with MW surveyor. So far, after 530 rounds my month old CW9 has been flawless. Am I just Lucky?... fine. I'll accept that.
Hope your Kahr comes back from the repair shop all buffed up and shiny.LaP

Quick question...just got my Kahr CW9...I saw it and fell in love with it after seriously considering a Ruger LC9...The Kahr just has it all over the Ruger...Anyway, I have been seeing some scary photos of CW9's with chewed up polymer frames where the slide rides supposedly from normal shooting...I DO NOT want this to happen to my "sexy" new pistol...does this really happen and what can I do to prevent it? For example, use heavier grease on the slide before shooting...Thanks.Comment

I have been on this forum for a few months, now, and I've never heard anything like that. Where did you hear or read such a thing. Are there photos?Originally posted by dursker View Post
The only way I think something like that could possibly happen would be if someone was feeding it some extremely overpowered reloads that are +++++p+++++.
These are very high quality, long lasting guns. We have a member named jocko who has over 32,000 rounds through his years old PM9. jocko will tell you to look at these sticky threads on cleaning and lubing your new Kahr, then shoot it like you stole it!

Who wants it
When it gets back I'm either selling it or it will be a trade in for a Walther PPS ? You tube has many vidieo of failed Kahrs.Comment

The poly frame comes out of a mold and sometimes sticks up a bit too high. Most don't, but they can take a rub from the slide action. If you notice anything like that just polish the roughness out. If it's left rough the slide will take more off next time. I always rub my finger over them after lubing the front rails with just a trace of lube left on the finger. Don't know if it helps but can't hurt.•"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end." - O. L.

Well since you seemed determined not to like Kahr, I'll be the first to say: Its been real, its been fun but it ain't been real fun. I hope you find something that works for you. I won't even bother trying to explain to you that you can find anything on youtube, and that as a Kahr dedicated forum we hear more about problems than anywhere else, which gives an impression of lots of problems. The opposite however is really true, how many people have a Kahr, and say nothing about it here because it works, and how many of us have had few if any problems? Shalom, and LitrahotAttitude: it takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile...and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

You can't believe everything on You Tube. Kahr has many competitors that have employee's that can put anything they want on You Tube.
My own CW40 has been perfect from day one.Comment

One day at a time
What does the word
Litrahot" mean ?............ Well if the gun come back fixed,then I'll keep it. I don't have any money to just throw around recklessly . No doubt it conceals rather well.Comment
