new cm40 follower destroyed

[jascott]

sounds like to much work. ill just wait till i recieve my new followers and put up a video on youtube on my page showing how many shots it takes to break the new one and watch the gun as its shooting to see if there is any clear reason of why it was jaming on me.

Great idea! Oh, and, please send me a link to your YouTube even if you do not post it here. Thanks!

Both of my PM40's (same gun mechanically as your CM40) broke several magazine followers (all cheerfully replaced by Kahr, thank you) before I finally got tired of it and used a rubber abrasive wheel on the ends of both ramps. Very little material was removed, but it solved the issue for me.

Looking at my broken off skirt pieces, they seem to be made from hard, durable plastic. I can see no marks at all on mine (collected from inside the magazine after they broke off), but there is no doubt in my mind that the ramps were knocking them off . . . because it stopped happening after I created a little extra clearance.

Old guys like me are not always patient enough to send pistols in and let Kahr do the work, but I am certain Kahr will cheerfully fix your ramp clearance for you.

Best of luck!

jascott emailed me these two photos showing his broken follower. I zoomed in a bit and brightened them up so we could see the break.

if that isn't a feed ramp hitting that area which is IMO very beefy even,I will glad kiss kahrs ass..

excellent photo work by the way

The feed ramp is hitting these followers twice. Once on the radius above the metal pin with one round still in the mag then on the lower part of the follow when the last round is fired

It should be easy to see what pistol will do this by locking the slide back and slideing a mag in slowly to see if it touchs the ramp with one case only in the mag while pressing the barrel back firmly. There is a strike mark in post 26 on the top radius'd area of the follower.

this is just bumming me out . havent been able to shoot the pistol because of the follower, now waiting on new follower just for the pistol to break in with the first full mag then send away to the company. nothin like going straight home with new gun and breaking it in with 300 rds. got 5rds down, only a couples months and 295rds to go

This really is a bummer, but you are going to love this pistol once this is ironed out! My CW9 always makes me happy when I shoot it!

That is exactly what I was thinking when I was editing the photos.
