For Your Edification

[deadeye]

You did notice the big smiley face after that quote, didn't you. That was to signify that I was kidding. I care deeply what you guys think about me.

I am soooo glad. Just so you know, I care deeply about you caring deeply about what we think about you. In fact a rarely think about you. See. I'm just sweet by nature.

When I pay nearly $700 for a firearm, it better work. Since I can't just return it where I bought it from, the manufacturer better step up to the plate and make good on their warranty! In fact like my situation I only had it 1 week, Kahr should even pay for the shipping too! I say if it's broke and under warranty send it back. It may help Kahr improve on future products to see what common problems are needing attention.

But... I like fiddling with my guns... Even if it would nix the warranty. I'm too broken down these days to build my hot rod cars, but too damm ornery to quit working on the machinery of my own favorite toys.


By all means muggsy, you tell um, just please remember that after 30+ years of working on the jets I am more than a little (selectively) deaf (to incessant bitching). Just ask my wife...

Muggsy, I don't care what you tell people to do.

Neither do I.

Me too, Dude. Too many years with USAir.

Nothing like an open forum to state the obvious!

I think that the reason that Kahr doesn't normally pay for shipping is user error. Too, many people send a gun back when there is nothing wrong with it. They don't read the manual, don't clean and lube the gun before shooting it, use crap ammo, don't take a proper grip, don't know what the sight picture is supposed to look like and yank the trigger. Is Kahr supposed to pay for a buyers ignorance or stupidity? How long do you think that they would be in business if they did? When Kahr feels that the gun is at fault Kahr generally send out a prepaid mailer without out you having to ask. I think that's being more than fair.

I heard about a company somewhere who would have you send your gun back on your dime then rebate you the shipping if something was indeed wrong. I don't know if that's true or not but it kinda sounded like a good idea...

Beretta does that I believe.

I'll double down on that. And anything new I'm gonna customize gets well shot in first. If it survives that, screw the warranty.

[TheTman]

Before sending a gun back, I would like to see all possible user errors addressed, like limp wristing, and under or over lubing it, and making sure it was re-assembled correctly after a field strip for cleaning, and having someone else shoot the gun to see if they have the same problems.
After that if the gun is still not functioning correctly, then send it to the mothership.

+1 Tom. None of that will void the warranty either.
