I plan on it...as soon as Kahr fixes the issue.
No big deal.. I kinda expected it
That's why I only used 1 mag

Sounds like a great range feeding to me.

Which part?
The broken follower or the 154 flawless rounds?

Both..

Both..

It's a great shooting little gun.
It's a shame so many are having to go back to be repaired.

Yes it is.
Sending it back isn't a big deal to me as I've sent back a few to different manufacturers.
All of them returned to me flawless.


I've sent an email and will follow up with a phone call tomorrow.
I guess this post will become more of a customer service report

Got through on the phone and talked to the British fellow, he was pleasant.
I told him I've researched the issue and see that they're modifying feedramps to rectify the problem.
He stated that they're sending out replacement followers and calling them back to the factory if it happens a second time.
Seems fair to me...

A slight bit of material removal on the ramp could be in order.....................

You'd think for the cost of sending out all these replacement followers and shipping to/from the factory for the fixes, they could make a simple jig to measure the feed ramp length before any go out of the factory. I hear about such high tolerances they have, so I find it surprising how may you see with the issue. Best of luck brother.

That's how it went down with me. Weapon was back from the factory in 10 days.

It seems Kahr is trying to maintain the tightest tolerances possible ==> a percentage that have issues and need addressed. They could make them all sloppy and never have a problem. But then they'd be Kel-tecs. Maybe they feel like this is an acceptable level of service repairs. It's a known issue and we know how to deal with it. So sorry for the inconvenience but all will work out in the end.

Went to shoot the CM9 a 2nd time today.
100 more 124 gr. FMJ and 14 Gold Dot 147's.
That's 268 flawless rounds now and no broken follower this time!

I haven't received the replacement follower yet so I used a PM 6 round range mag...now the primary for my CM9 btw
This begs the question, Is there a follower problem??
One way to find out...I'll be using the replacement follower and the original CM9 mag as a PM9 range mag
If the new follower breaks in my PM, there is definitely a follower issue.
I know I've put at least 500 rounds through the mag I used today.

All good news and this CM9 is ready for holster duty!!
