    OH $#!^ - new CM9 barrel?

    Rapid fired a second round into a squib -cleard the stuck round out but it bulged the barrel on my CM9. I got the barrel out with a little careful work. Cant see anything else that seems out of order- but the barrel is toast - definetly have to replace it. Any other boneheads out the done this before? What bites is this gun is only a week old and I was really liking the prospect of carrying it.
    I know I can order a new barrel from Kahr - but what about beltsanding the bulged one down to allow it to go back in the slide and make sure everything still manually slides along nicely?

    NO...NO...NO...NO...

    Using it after it has been damaged is asking for a disaster. Even if you have no intent of using it the chances of an ooops is too high.

      What do you mean - replace the entire gun?
      I wasnt going to fire the damaged barrel, just use it to verify everything is in place as it seems to be upon visual inspection...

        Chickenman, you should have stuck to the Geshtunkana Ray Gun.

        I'm gonna just nail the point home, that you are a moron, who should not be around any sort of autoloading firearm.

        It goes without saying:

        Whenever the gun should have gone bang, and it doesn't quite seem right, and you pull an empty case from the chamber - check the damn barrel!!!!

        How many frikkin times have I told this to folks that make Joe Biden look like Einstein? Do they ever listen? Case in point.

          Don't know your authority on such matters, but all he did was egg his barrel... in true moronic Biden-esque form.

          Replacing the barrel is all he needs to do.

            Easy there bub... Calling a fella a moron gets some folks a poke in the eye in some parts of the world.
            The gun did go bang, it cycled on its own, I was rapid firing, it fired after the apparent squib round and then FTE which is when I of course then stopped to see what was wrong. I was wearing heating protection, did not realize or catch the squib fire before I pulled the trigger again.
            I have read at least a half dozen other tellings of similar instances other places, but since this is my first poly-frame pistol, I thought Id seek some advice.....apparently Im in the company of asses...

              No you are not in the company of asses. CJB apparently is off his meds today.

              What he said was true but as you said you were rapid firing so it's easy to pull the trigger before you even realize the last one was funny.

              Everything should be ok, you do need a new barrel.. If you file the barrel down to fit to test operation without firing your ok. Probably don't need to waste a lot of time doing that.

              I'd email or call Kahr and tell them honestly what you did. They might even send you one warranty. They send me a barrel once to replace one that had been in the ocean for a couple months. I told them so and they still send one free. Times change, they may not do so now and I wouldn't blame them, it's not their fault but worth a try.

                Thank you sir! I will inquire as suggested.
                Look forward to better stories to tell in the future - I was really liking this little gun!

                  It's still worth plenty of love, you'll just love it more with a new barrel.

                    I should be on meds... but... consider also, that I've stood behind too many folks who did the same thing even as I told them, clearly... DO NOT FIRE... as I coached them. Too many....

                    A point of order Bawanna - its not easy to do when you're rapid firing. In fact, its pretty darn hard to do while rapid firing, because the pistol will not rapid fire whatsoever, when a sqib happens. The pistol will fail to cycle. The shooter will pull the trigger, after sensing something weird. There will be no additional bang resulting from the trigger pull. The shooter will at first think he's out of ammo, and somehow the slide has closed. Or they'll think they're just having a malfunction. They retract the slide, see the empty and forget to think about why there was weird, no bang, and an empty.... hmmm. Then they'll just chamber up a fresh gobang and proceed to blow up the barrel.

                    So you see, the pistol tried, as much as it could try....to tell the shooter, "hey doofus, check my barrel, PLEASE!!!", but the shooter just thought he knew better.

                    Chickenman, don't take it personal. I'm using you as an example to all the folks out there who would do just as you did. I'm sure you feel terrible, eggin' the barrel on your new baby. Assuming the barrel didn't split and shoot gas into the polymer, you'll be fine with a new barrel. I'd just call Kahr and order one... should drop in with minimal fuss.

                    So, you got a new gun, and you're shootin' some reloads in it to break it in. Your loads, or a friends, or a ranges?

                      No, it made a noise, not the normal bang - as there was no muzzle blast, due to the bullet never leaving the barrel. The recoil also felt funny. The pistol did not cycle on its own. If there was a squib, then there was insufficient recoil to cycle the action. If there was sufficient recoil you would not have had to clear the stuck round out, but... you had to clear the round out. Therefore, you are mistaken.

                      This one's your fault for not checkin when it was beggin to be checked.

                        And, yea, I shoulda caught it, probably should not have been trying to cycle it quickly as it is a new gun....but it was fun to shoot and it cycled flawlessly, even after the partial fire or squib or whatever you want to call it.

                          I don't 100% agree on the rapid fire thing, a weak primer or no powder that could cause a squib could still recoil a bit, still bang a bit and when people are playing gangsta and really ripping on the trigger your reflex might not be fast enough.

                          I never really saw the fun in the gangsta let em rip scenario and used to not even load for auto's just for that reason.

                          Even though I don't 100% agree with you I still love you completely and unconditionally.



                          Just not in any mano mano way ya understand. You might want to check with Scoundrel though, he's looking lovely this evening.

                              I'd blame it on Bush. He screwed everything up.
