Broken PM40 magazine follower

[Bawanna]

So just to be clear am I # 3 or # 2. Who's on first ya know?

Thanks CJB, Hawkeye, and everyone for your input. The shop where I bought my PM40 is in a very small town and, since the owner gave me a $50 discount, I suspect he may have had it in stock for quite awhile. Is there a place I can run the serial number to see when it was manufactured?

The follower in the 6-round mag looks perfectly fine after shooting probably 150 rounds through it. I'll check the clearance on it using the method you suggested CJB. I've asked Kahr to send me a new follower by email and I'll do a follow-up call with them tomorrow. If another follower breaks, I'll probably send the pistol back to Kahr for repairs. I also own a SIG Sauer P229 that has been flawless through several hundred rounds, but it's a little too large for convenient concealed carry.

I contacted Kahr this morning and they are sending me a new follower via USPS.

[Calaveras]

They said I should receive it by the end of next week.

I also asked for the manufacture date of my PM40, June of 2012.

[Calaveras]

So I was correct that my local dealer had it in stock for awhile.

[Calaveras]

Kahr also told me that they would require the pistol to be sent in for repairs by their gunsmith if it breaks another follower.

[Calaveras]

Yeah, I'm trying to build up some posts so I can get an avatar.

The Kahr representative, didn't get his name, told me there haven't been any revisions to the PM40 since mine was manufactured in June, 2012.

You guys a re a bunch of amateurs using files and a Dremmel. You can do a rampectomy in 30 seconds with a scotch bright wheel mounted on a bench grinder. Have you no shame?

[Calaveras]

Well, I don't have a bench grinder or a Dremmel...files, yes.

[Calaveras]

Overall, I'm very happy with the PM40, shoots very smoothly for a lightweight .40 S&W.

[Calaveras]

And it's very easy to conceal.

Now now there Muggsy.... I know damn well if you or I had our druthers, we'd have that barrel in a nice little magnetic jig, and we'd have looked at the nose contour of the feed ramp with our profile projector, and we'd have shaped one of those ultra fine white grinding wheels and plunge ground the sob on the surface grinder.

Hey I thought the cat tongue approach was a good one! If the cat lives long enough, the barrel may be finished in fifeen years or daily lickin'.....

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Muggsy is standing at his trusty bench grinder with the product of his latest 30-second wreckectomy-rampectomy proudly in hand and says, “Profile?” ;-)
