CM at the range

[O'Dell]

I got my free mag last weekend so I took the CM45 to the range today. I shot 140 rounds of that low powered and dirty USAAmmo I'm trying to get rid of and 30 rounds of Federal HP. The pistol performed 100% even with the crappy ammo. I, however, wasn't at my best since I haven't shot a gun in almost a year. I will say though that the flyers in the seven ring were when I was shooting one handed and limp wristing to try and get the pistol to fail. It did not! all shots were at ten yards.

I did notice before I went shooting that the pistol will not eject a live round. It catches on the barrel hood, and I don't know how to fix it since I have no cutting or grinding tools.

Dang O'Dell, if that's how you shoot after not shooting for a year and it's a new gun too, I sure wouldn't want to get on your bad side my friend! Good shooting!

Doesn't really surprise me that the CM45 ran 100% for you. Mine has been running 100% since new too. I am around 300-400rds and it is broken in nicely, with the only issue being an occasional brass to the head. I think that is working its way out though as I shoot it, and adjust my reloads.

Mine also would not eject live rounds. If you don't have a small file or a stone, you could use a piece of emery cloth on a popsicle stick to just break and smooth the barrel hood edge. That is all that was needed to fix mine.

It's funny I shot better after some very long dry spells too. Don't make sense.

That is fine shooting. All you need is a small file. A finger nail file or a bit of like 400 sandpaper on a popsicle stick will do the shop. Just knocking off that tiny little tip. Usually don't take much.

That's good shooting. You're making it real tough to resist getting a CM45. I'm hanging on a thread here I'll admit.

Holy crap! Somebody tell me the durn thing breaks followers or sumpin'...

[O'Dell]

Thanks guys, I have nail files and tons of 400 sandpaper. I'll get it fixed.

[O'Dell]

Success! Even the HP's don't get hung up anymore.

[BEARDOG]

Good job!
Gee, how did you get that fixed without ranting and raving about how bad Kahrs suck???

Go buy a small file and take just a smidgen off the length of the ejector. I did that to mine and it fixed it right up on the live round issue.

Mine sure didn't like limp wristing. I'm sure glad that the recoil spring is a little easier to compress now. Did you know they take a 500 round break in? That's what the Glock pusher range master told me. Along with a bunch of other crap he made up. I told him this was my 4th Kahr, and he suddenly found something else that needed his attention. He came over to see why I was having a bit of trouble locking the slide back, so I let him try, "Damn, that is a stiff spring" I said yep, that's why I was having to use a bit of muscle to lock the slide open.

You can tell the glock pusher that my G19 gen 4 took a 300+ round break in before the fail to feed issues cleared up. Thats more than ANY of my Kahrs did. I think its funny to go over to glock talk and see how many of them are having issues with their piece of "perfection". I will say their SF and Gen 4 frames have a nicer grip which is along with the greater magazine capacity is the only reason i bought a glock.

Oh you can tell him too that my 30S was flawless and my g19 had issues which makes glocks have a 50% failure rate from the factory.

Thanks for the tip. I was perplexed as to why that was happening to my newly purchased CM45 as I also have a CM40 and never experienced that. I did the fix and it works fine.
