Missing Frontsite Dot?

[jocko]

good question to ask kahr. IS THE DOT PAINTED OR IS IT A TRUE DOT INSERTED. If it is painted, I wouldnot want gun scrubber, hoppes, or brake cleaner near that painted dot. I wold bet though it you repainted that dot as u did and then clear sealed it with epoxy that no cleaner willthen bother it. I try to keep any cleaners away from my sights, doesnt matter to me what cleaner either, for once you ruin a good sight, it is then alittle to late to say, oops don't put gunscrubber on sights etc. Wipe thare area off with a silicone cloth or something lightly oiled..

I love the size, weight, & fit of these little Kahrs, BUT (putting my flame retardant suit on,) I'm a bit frustrated with the little quirks that exist considering the price of these gems. Nothing major, but quirks like having to use the slide stop to chamber the first round, magazines that protrude slightly and/or fail to drop free, and sight paint that simply wipes off with cleaner, are issues I've never had with other high quality pistols.

I don't have to use the slide stop with my PM9. In fact, I prefer not to use it because I feel it places extra wear on the slide and stop. I do really have to "grip it and rip it" to chamber hollowpoints, but it works.

I have six 6rd magazines and the 7rd mag. Everyone drops free.

Never had a problem with the front sight dot, but I use nothing harsher than CLP and Militec grease to clean/lube. Gun scrubber/Powder Blast is for the AKs with corrosive ammo.
