Trigger Reset Fail

Just so you know, those parts are shiny, not smooth.
There's a difference

Pont, SET, GAME, MATCH.

I'm guessing you have no failures to feed... Double snare, cymbal! Thank you! I'll be here all week!

One thing I was thinking about in regards to that video Captrigney linked. Retracting the slide should have reset the trigger, but it didn't. The cams should have been in the correct position, no matter what to re-engage the striker tang. His problem is totally different from that we experienced while firing. I'm going to have to investigate his issue further.

Pont, SET, GAME, MATCH.

at this point I'd be happy to know what a 'pont' is.....

I went through this same scenario on my last range trip, gun failed to reset around 3 times of 60 or so... shell was ejected, round was chambered, gun was not reset..

I have yet to investigate the matter nor take the gun to the range again to try and mimic the situation....

I posted a thread about it with no help, I will tag this thread for reference

I didnt see what your gun was, 9, 40, or 45. Anyway i bet they rework your trigger bar. Had a problem with my cw45 but fixed it myself. Hope you got free shipping on your return. My trigger bar was a couple of thousands out of spec in my opinion. I only had issues when it was hot before but its 100% good now. Let us know how it goes.

yqtszhj ,
It's a CM9. I had thought that maybe heat might matter but it failed right from the get-go today. They sent a prepaid label without my having to ask. I'm looking forward to 100% good. I'm just getting used to carrying and it has surprised me how uneasy it feels to not know if it is going to go bang - and how uneasy it will feel while I'm without it.

They'll fix it. Hang in there.

What exactly did you do to fix your CW45?

Sorry to hear that. I never had that many failures to reset. In fact, I only had one in my MK40. I think it has everything to do with the fact that it is a nonpliable metal frame that makes it less likely to have the problem. But it of course is not immune. I tightened and loctited the grip screws and shot about 150 rounds through it with no problems. I don't think I'm out of the woods yet though. I'm guessing that a breaking in (smoothing the surfaces through use) of the recently cerakoted cams and trigger bar (along with the rest of the gun) is probably helpful as well. I have to take my PM-9 next for some hardcore testing next. I will report on that trip after it happens.

UPDATE:

After many failures to reset the trigger, I contacted Kahr service. I emailed Jay, who was recommended on this forum. He sent me a RM number as well as a return shipping label. I sent the CM9 back on Christmas Eve and it was delivered with a new trigger bar on New Year's Eve. A pretty good turn around, I'd say. Perhaps mentioning this forum helped grease the skids a bit.

Yesterday was my first chance to try it out at the range and it went 100 for 100 with no problems. I'd give Kahr a Five Star customer service rating.

Though you don't want things to go wrong with your new product, sometimes sh!t happens. As long as it doesn't turn to diarrhea, I can accept it as long as the company stands behind their product and makes it right. Kahr made it right and I'm a happy camper.

Thank you Jay and Ian.
