About to purchase a CW9, but want night sites. First post.

Not sure what I did, but it seems to be working correctly now. I took the slide off and checked it out. It doesn't seem to be having the issue with getting stuck.

After looking at this, with slide off, it is the most simple gun I have ever owned. What is the normal break point on these that has been discussed on this site? Or are they pretty reliable long term?

I've never owned many other weapons, and the one's I do own don't field strip.
However, I can say my Kahr is much easier than my M16A2 to field strip, and that I can field strip and reassemble blind folded in under 2 minutes.

About longevity I can't say much except to look at Jocko's signature. 32,000 rounds and counting.

Well, I was able to get to the range today and ran ~100 115gr. FMJ rounds through the CW9. . . . trouble free, no failures of any kind, and the shells ejected away from me. I ran ~15 124gr Golden Sabers through it as well. Again, no failures. It shot quite pleasantly and accuracy was very good. Concealing it is no trouble. No jabbing from this gun, good weight. Looks like things are going well and I feel I made the right purchase.

MO Soldier: whats to break on a kahr??? slide built like a tank barrel made by one of the best barrel makers in the country.. Lower section all polymer to my knowledge never seen one break. Total gun built like a brick sh-thouse. If anything goes bad I would bet on magazines bnefore all else and my two have been perfect as far as splitting since I bought them originally. Two broken followers in 32K+ rounds and those two followers actualy never stopped the gun from working either, actually didn't know they were broken until I took them apart for periodic cleaning and out popped a part.

Did I mention something breaking?
I know I've heard of Slide Releases breaking from not sling shotting, but not specifically on Kahrs. I also know that Kahr claims to have made their slide releases extra tough since they recommend solely using them for chambering our first rounds.
