Update! PM45 magazines fail & Boomer's going back again! Back home 11 Jan!

[Seahawk60]

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. PM45, so that makes sense. I was hoping for an alternative for PM9 mags.

Dang! I just a message from Kahr CS that they haven't received a FAX of my dealer's FFL.
I contacted the dealer and he's resending... says he sent it last week.

A little Twilight music.... I have never had a good feeling when sending FAXes, especially my 17-year or so old FAX machine. It's like throwing messages into a black hole.

MAYBE Boomer will get back NEXT week.

I'll wait until then to test the K9 as well. Got the slide with re-lamped NS back from Trijicon.

Dang! What set off ryoung???

Update on Franken-Boomer... Kahr CS got the FFL FAX and will ship him back to me Monday. I'll test the K9 and it pretty quickly then.
I Tetra-cised the K9 and took apart the slide for the first time... ever. I only had one "sproing"... the pin that locks the backplate in place. I found it quickly, though. That pin was harder than the others to hold down during re-assembly, especially when it's lubricated. Only my smallest jeweler screwdriver would work with that.
I had to make another C-clamp because the one for the PM45 was about 1/8" too long. It was difficult to get the backplate past that because it didn't depress the striker spring and follower quite enough. I tried pulling down on the lower, longer arm of the c-clamp and got part of my finger caught between that and the extractor/breechface... very painful and hard to disengage!
4 Kahrs and 4 different C-clamps... no biggy... cheap to make.

He's a wise man that one.

The site seems weird today or maybe it's just me. The log in is different. No middle sign in just the right side. Cant stay logged in and monitor, spits me out. Maybe thats an omen?

AH, they've finally caught on to you.

[O'Dell]

Hey Wynn, did you get the PM back. I think a report is over due.

[Bawanna]

Shouldn't of let the cat out of the sack, might have to use that trick again in the future. It worked and I thank you for thinking it up. I was proud as a darn peacock that I caught onto it right away. Usually I'm the dimmest lighthouse in the desert. Good plan.

I still laugh how easily kids get along with this new fangled technology. They aren't afraid of tilting or melting down the whole shebang. I still remember when we first got a computer at home. I'd try to do something for days and I'd come home and somebody did something good to it. I'd ask the kids, who did this, wasn't me dad, wasn't on the computer.

No you don't understand what you did is a good thing. Oh yeah that was me. How'd you do it. I have no idea. A vicious circle for sure.

Blind squirrels getting nuts? I thought it was blind hogs getting acorns?
Must be a regional thing.

I don't know WTF is going on with Franken-Boomer. Kahr got the second transmission of the FFL last Thursday and they were supposed to ship it this past Monday. I went to the FFL dealer yesterday and he hasn't seen squat... said FedEx hadn't been there this week. The dealer is closed on Mondays and opens 11am to 7pm.
I guess I'll send a query to Kahr CS and see if and when they sent it... and how? <<eine kleine Twilight Zone Musik>>
I keep thinking that it will return one of these days.... At least I'm back up to 3 Kahrs here... all with sufficiently working night sights now.
<<sigh>>

You are one patient man, Wynn. I think they should send you another Franken-Boomer as a companion to your own just because you've been such an ideal customer. :9:

Any more info ever come out of this about the cracked mags? I was cleaning my PM45 last night and realized that both of my 5-round mags have cracks just like those in the pictures. The cracks in mine are about a 1/4" long but the aren't peeling back yet. 4-500 rds through each mag, bought the gun in the fall of 2009. Just wondering if it seems to be a problem with the gun or the mags. Maybe it was limited to a certain production run of the mags?

[jocko]

are they cracks or possably just where the weld stopped. My PM9 mags look to me like they might have a non welded area at the top of the magazine about maybe a 1/4" or less but this is my original magazine with over 30,000 rounds out of it. If it is like I am describing then IMO it is not a crack but where the weld stopped . I just checked my other 3 kahr magazines and they all have this non welded area right at the top of the magazine. Now if they are cracking on the sides of the magazines where it makes a bend, that is a defective magazine. Kahr doesn'tmake their magazines but they will replace any defective magazine..

Not sure if that is what ur referring to either, but by chance if it is, then it is normal.
