The Saga continues !

Don't ya just love how we take a thread on a unhappy customer and turn it into a plywood covered with icecream and chocolate sprinkles for a chick magnet.

Is this a great country or what.

[jocko]

yup kinda turns one's stomach.

I am truly impressed with the gyrations this thread took. I learned to not use WD 40 for gun lube, but to spred icecream liberally over plywood and add sprinkles.
NOW that's some good info.

[Bawanna]

Yup, done as a public service.

Sorry to hear about your gyrations, maybe a little Milk of Magnesia will help with that?

[jocko]

Not back yet

They still have it. I already had a criminal knock on my door I told him to come back later .

This is one reason why many of us have multiple guns.
I still squirm while my baby's away.
But all of her friends keep me warm at night!

Sig

Right there with you - Sig P239/357

The CW40 is still my favorite 'holster' carry gun, mainly for the reason I shoot it well and it's small and light. If Kahr took it away from me, I could fall back to the M&P c 40, S&W CS45, STI Escort, or Kimber UC II. All are similar in size, except width, but the CW is from 6 to 8 ozs lighter, and that makes a big difference to me. I hope you get it back soon.

Oh so its a man's gun. No where in instruction manual for my Sig did it say I had to fire it 200rnds to be dependable. Neither did my M1 grarand,FN Fal,AR-15,M1A, Colt 1911, Berreta 84,Mini 14,Rem 1100. Ok WD 40 wasn't the right lube but it wasn't salt water either Didn't hurt any of these other guns a bit. Why is this $419.00 gun so lube sensitive ? IMHO its cause there is a design flaw. I've read reports of guys sending their Kahrs back to factory multiple times and still not functioning. Yes a few guns came back fixed but they seem to be in the minority.

I'm a happy Sig P238 owner. Their gunsmith and another local guy advised me that there is a break-in period. 200 rounds.

I did not start out happy. I returned the Sig for tweaking at 300 rounds and the 'smith found a fracture in the frame. Sig replaced the gun. It too had to go back (around round 150) but after the feedramp polish, all has been well.

I bought a PM9 and suffered thru some break-in glitches, but, after 250 rounds, all is good. Never needed to go back to Kahr. Have a little faith and patience.

I remember when I used to have a pilot light. More like a candle wick these days.

Back in an earlier life when I cared about such things, I inquired of a testing company, kind of like Pittsburg Testing. I worked at an industrial supply place in the warehouse so had some contacts. I wanted to know the characteristics and properties (damn this is technical talk for ole bawanna) of WD 40, LPS, and some others I've forgotten.

They had already tested and had data on several. I wasn't surprised to find out that WD actually turned into an adhesive after enough time passed.

It has a purpose and it works good for that (water displacing, the key word here) but it has no place on a gun that I can think of.

One excellent purpose I found a few years ago was to take a piece of plywood and build a little jump for your kids remote control car/truck. The better the quality of the car/truck and suspension the better.
Spray the ramp liberally (gosh I hate that word) with WD. Now you can do burnouts and slip and slide.
When that gets boring hose it down again with the WD and light it on far, careful of the eyebrows and arm hair (yes they are flammable, ask me how I know this?). Now you can drive the remote control car/truck thru the flamming inferno with wicked cool results. No remote car/trucks were injured in the performance of this test.

Hmm, just had an idea. A plywood ramp covered in icecream............this warrants further consideration.

I find that WD40 is GREAT for the rollers on my garage door track. Smooth and smells kinda nice..better than Hoppes #9 but that's just a personal opinion.

About a week after I bought my first hand gun, I read on the internet to keep it (WD40) away from any gun. It penetrates too well on ammo and messes up your primer. No need for it with so many suitable products available. If cost is a factor, buy Mobil One or any synthetic CAR oil.
