CM9 back to the Factory

Kahrlwallace,

Have faith. Yes there's been a rash of issues of late but you will have the best little pocket gun on the market.

If there's a problem Kahr will correct it. Don't succumb to the negatives. Stay calm and focus and get it worked out. We don't know of any firearms that have failed, even with a follower that's broken. Usually folks discover the break on mag teardown.

Could anyone explain to me how the gun could be breaking this small plastic piece ? Could it just be the design of the magazine ?

The feedramp is likely hitting on cycle.
They'll replace the follower once but if it continues they'll request the whole firearm back. Request a ppd FEDEX label.

Thanks tinman ...I better just send the whole thing back huh ? Has anyone had success with a mag replace ? It sounds like this is a bandaid...If it breaks followers it breaks followers ? I had 100 rds through this thing...it was dead nuts , and fit my hand perfectly. I
hope this turns out well...i just got this thing ...

I will probably do a feed ramp polish myself and hope that improves my issues.

The Kahr has one single advantage over my xds, and that is weight. This really sold me on buying a Kahr. I'm still hopeful but best pocket gun? Can't give it that title. Even with the recall ongoing have to go with the little Springfield. I do love shooting the Kahr and 5 plus ounces lighter is nice.

Kahr will send you a replacement follower once. If it happens twice they'll tell you to send the gun back.

My CM9 arrived at Kahr last week. They do send a replacement follower, then a prepaid fedex, overnight shipping label to ship the pistol back if the problem continues. I hope a couple weeks from now...or sooner.....I will be telling everyone what a great job Kahr did on my CM9.

Sounds like someone was busy on the phone and computer of late. I got a very nice e-mail today from Matt McKeon about my problem with the trigger connecter being badly worn from burrs on the slide. He said it was normal for that part of the connecter to be ground down like that.

I did explain to him that the tab which rides the slide is so thin that it is getting caught between the slide and frame. Because of the burrs on the slide He suggested I obtain an RTA and send the gun in for them to look at.
I told him I do appreciate that very much, but a gunsmith friend had already cleaned up the burrs and polished that area. I also told him I had already ordered a trigger connecter and it was shipped yesterday.
I told him we would install the connecter and everything would be fine. He said if I had any more problems to let him know and He would take care of it.
I thanked him for his attention to my problem and would be in touch. Very courteous and pleasant and thanked me for being a Kahr customer. I told him I really want this gun to be right because I really like it. The rest of the gun is fit and finish perfection. Waiting for my connecter.................

I put my new Dremel to work last night on the feed ramp. Am hopeful no more broken followers, and maybe even a bonus that it will like more ammo types. Report after I shoot again.

I agree. Biggest bunch of complainers I have ever heard.

I don't know what these people have been reading, but I didn't see too much negativity about Shield's on this forum. Some, like myself, do not like the trigger. Some say it's a bit too large to front pocket carry. If that's bashing, it sounds like a good firearm.

You darn right I'll complain about a pistol that does not work like it is supposed to....especially when it is used in the course of my duty as a leo and could be called upon to protect my life! In fact, I'm not sure why anyone would not complain about a new pistol that did not function properly?

Having said that, I called Kahr today and spoke with someone in CS(could not understand his name) and they stated my CM9 had been repaired today and I should receive it back no later than Monday! Assuming they fix it right, I can't complain about that kind of service. I will keep everyone posted as to what happens.
