P45 wont extract unfired round?

[rkammer]

I just want to update everyone who was interested that I spoke with Kahr this morning and they are going to revise my barrel and check out the gun at no expense to me. I wrote them a lengthy email explaining why I felt this was the right thing to do and they agreed. So, the gun goes back tomorrow. Another big "attaboy" for Kahr's customer service.

Did you get the gun back from Kahr? I am having the exact same issue with my PM45.

I did receive the pistol back from Kahr and the problem is fixed. They did add the relief cut in the barrel hood.

In addition, they also gave me a brand new slide! I don't know why they replaced the slide (since everything else was working fine) but, I'm not complaining since the gun is over 6 years old.

Oh heck yes! Great service there. Glad it worked out. I wonder what the difference is with the slide? Extractor position? Ejection port slightly modified?

I'm not really sure what the difference is. They used all the piece parts from the original slide including the extractor because the one that was in it had been polished. The original slide was also polished and the new one is the same matte finish as on the new guns so, I was a bit disappointed there but getting a new slide on a 6 year old gun made the trade-off very OK with me.

the thing is that with kahr they have the priveldge of replacing parts until the issue goes away, WE DON'T HAVE THAT PRIVELEDGE. Probably far easier and faster to replace the slide than to ever try to do some smitty work to it. Time is money at kahr to. Maybe they themselves cannot pinpoint the slide issue but by putting on the new slide and testing it the issues went away, so they arejust going to let it go at that. Kudos to kahr for taking care of ur gun even though it is out of warranty. Kinda odd that fort over 6 ears that gun has been in someones hands and one ha sto wonder if the issues was there then or what?

Good points, Jocko. And, as they say, "all's well that ends well".

Great fix sir, Thank you very much...

[QUOTE=gb6491;119592]Hey Ray,
Have you tried putting the barrel of your CW45 in the P45 to see if the ammo will eject? If it does eject it might just be a matter of polishing/removing some material from the hood of the P45 barrel to provide extra clearance. If it were mine, I think I would try breaking/polishing the lower edge of the barrel hood YMMV.

I was having exactly the same problem as the OP. Your suggestion worked great sir, thank you very much.
