CM9 Just Returned- DID I SCREW UP?

[hoghunter]

Ok, so the CM9 just got back. First thing I did was break it down and check the mags. The guys at Kahr replaced the followers so I wanted to get the mags apart. All three springs were in differently from how I was putting them in when I sent it away to Kahr. The mag follower on the LEFT is how all three mags just came back to me from Kahr and the mag follower pic on the RIGHT is how I installed the follower on the spring. The pic on the left shows the tip of the follower diving into the spring a bit. If this was just me screwing it up myself by installing the spring/follower wrong then I am beyond embarassed. I installed the spring the way it felt natual. I could hardly remove the followers when I just got them back from Kahr installed like the pic on the left. Comments please!!

Yours is installed correctly, their is installed backwards. I'm ashamed of them.

I'd send those pictures and a polite email to Kahr and explain what you found.

That is totally wrong.

I just did. Thanks

wow, no way they could have test fired those magazines. My bet there all come assembled from the vendor and these KAHR TECHS aren't smart enough to look um over.

I a not ashamed of them bawanna. I have far bigger words for these assholes but I will refrain. Is anyone taking bets on hoghunters gun being right now????

I can't believe they sent it back like that, good luck bro, I hope it runs ok for you.

[jocko]

oh

I can't believe they sent it back like that, good luck bro, I hope it runs ok for you.

I can, u wonder if they really give a rats ass even. There is just no excuse for that sh-t and now think aobut if many were like this and they were installed in a new gun and boxed and shipped to a vendor. Do we expect every new buyer to be able to trouble shoot this thing. I think not. We talk about this in the propper prepping thread and what happened to hoghunter proves one better check over his damn magazines. Just no sense for this carleness...

ain't my gun even and I am pissed about it.

Its not good to keep your emotions bottled up Jocko. We really need to know how you really feel. You gotta let your hair down and let it all out.

Easy on the language though, you know how sensitive I am to that kind of gutter talk and dairy products.

a cold beer solves alot of frustrations..

So now I am p*ssed too. I have maintained my composure (for the most part) through this process. I sent my contact at Kahr an email expressing my displeasure. I cannot belive that all three mags were sent in that fashion. I trust them to fix my firearm and return it in working order. How did they test fire it? Anyway- one of the mags still has the baseplate that slides off it. Now I have three new followers. Time to test to see if they rub the mag release..... stay tuned!

That is just piss poor work right there. All 3 assembled wrong! Just think, the guy that did that calls himself a gunsmith and gets PAID for it??? I would love to hear what they have to say about it...

[jocko]

no doubt

in my mind they used their in house magazines that they do alltheir testing with. They certainly could not have used ur 3 magazines. They don't test fire their new guns with the magazines that ultimately is sent with the gun I wold be surprised if hoghunter get s a reply back but if he does it will be a bull **** reply

I hate to say this but about a week ago I guestioned Kahr's QC as of late. I agree,Your all right. There is no reason for those mag springs to have the followers installed on them incorrectly and put in the mags. Good heavens somebody needs to go back to training, or the person doing the training should be canned. This is not rocket science we're talking about. I wonder if this is the reason we are hearing about rounds nose diving? Just a thought??

[hoghunter]

I just got a call from Kahr customer service. He was very apologetic and made no excuses. Needless to say I am very happy with the fact they called and owned up to the error. Not some generic email but an actual call. I sent the pics to him and he was going to follow up. No way for me to know what they will actually research but it meant a lot to me. This CS contact also reiterated that fact that the mag follower catching the mag release causing the nosedive issue is completely false. He told me that they were able to reproduce the nosedive issue while shooting my CM9 and once they snipped the recoil spring the situation resolved itself. To test- I am not going to touch the followers (no sanding) and shoot it the way it is. I will be happy to be a test dummy and will surely update everyone this weekend. I cannot shoot it until the weekend so I have cleaned/lubed the CM9 and now she will have to sit until I can get to the range.

I, for one, will be watching for that report. Thank you for keeping us updated during all this
