I ordered my CM40 about a month before they started shipping them. Have had it about 2 months now. Love it. Recoil ain't as bad as you would think. After a few hundred rounds it gets a little less stiff. Its my daily carry Now. Still tight to rack the slide. Love it so much that I sold my CW40 to my brother in law. Didn't really want to. But he made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Besides it was just sitting in the safe not getting carried.

I was shooting my CW45, then switched to my CW40, and I thought the recoil was a bit lighter on the CW40. Probably because I was switching from Hydra Shoks in .45 to WWB on the .40

Hi Guys,

Got my CM 40 last week, first 10 rounds, mag follower broke. Kahr has one the way!!. After being a soild Sig, Glock fan for many years, I am worried about the quality of the Kahr pistols. After having this problem I have found that this is a fairly common occurance. Dating back from 2008? Would someone explain why this is still an issuse with Khar magazine followers

Grady?

welcome to the forum, make a seperate thread about it and it might get address better.

I would not call it a fairly common occurance but it has happened and I have no clue as to why,how or what is causing it...
My thoughts and they arejust mine is that on some guns and then on some particul guns the feed ramp cold be bashing into the front of the follower and causing it. I have no basis for this either as I know that when most of the followers that break are replace, most of the time the issue goes away. And that would IMO kill my theory, for if it was the feed ramp, it wold still want to bash the follower. We do know that sometime kahr wants to see the entire gun sent back for their nspection and maybe some mod that we don't see either.

No doubt kahr isn't please with it, I don't think it is a bad material either. Other gun makers have polymer followers and don'thave this issue. If u have it happen call kahr get anew follower and give it another try, if it persists, I would ask kahr then to take the gun back for their inspection. I have hadover 32K through my PM9 and I had a cracked follower that I did not even know it was cracked until I took my mag apart one day to clean it and out fell two follower peaces. The gun had never produced a failure even. I replaced that follower and I have never had another issues. Go figure!!!!

Hi Grady, welcome to the forum.

I've never had a magazine problem in any of the seven Kahrs I've owned, but I have read of them from time to time. Kahr doesn't make their mags, so a bad crop could slip in, but it's not that common. As far as the pistols go, I've been a SIG fan since 1980 and had quite a few, and I think Kahr's quality is easily as high as SIG and their service is usually great. Don't know about Glock - never had or wanted one. No Kahr or SIG has failed me yet. In fact the only failures I've had in recent years are from STI and Kimber. I'm not counting the 32 year old Detonics because it's a collector gun, not a carry piece, and I'm getting it straightened out anyway.

[jocko]

all kahr mags also come to kahr fully assembled, meaning if the mag springs are put in backwards.Kahr has no way of knowing that. not an excuse but a fact and something that Kahr and the vendor need to get a better hand on to. Again it is not epedemic either but when ithappens to you, it is irritating but certainly IMO not a game changer.

We recommend taking all mags apart before that first bang thing to just be sure all is welland right. Eventualy ur gonna take a mag apart, sowhy not do it before u ever shoot it to make sure all is right and well.

Dropped by the LGS today. They ordered 2 CM40s again, and they think they will get allocated, so I should have this by next week. I will know for sure on Friday (they even said if they do get them, it could be in house by Friday). I was thinking of changing to the CM9 or even the Beretta Nano, but I will be set up to reload 10mm, so the 40 makes more sense. It better hurry though, because they have a Marlin 1894C in 357 Mag that I've had my eye on, and.....
well.....there's always the following week for that. I am the ultimate kid in the candy shop.

[bonjorno2]

my lgs ordered about 10 of them months ago and still haven't received them so best of luck to you!

[Infidel proud]

Can't say much about the cm40 but I do own a cm9 and a cw45 with prob around 600 rounds through each. All I can say is you will be impressed...

Gotta stay positive. The salesman confirmed that there were 2 available at their warehouse, but his laptop isn't updated throughout the day. The lgs owner checked online, and there are two on his order, but no serial numbers were listed. When he can see the serial numbers, that means they are his. I'm supposed to call on Friday, but I'll probably find a reason to call tomorrow.

[ilmbaba]

It is confirmed. Serial numbers were issued. They are getting two, possibly tomorrow, but more likely the first part of next week.
Let the fun begin.
