Kahr Lube Diagram

[david8613]

I'm not new to guns but in these parts i am, im reading all this kahr info. it is great for a new kahr owner like myself, its appreciated. my pm 9 was super tight even though it was used between 200 to 300 rounds, I have done the clean, lubed with just oil and racked the slide a whole bunch of times as suggested on this forum but she still feels tight, so today I broke it down again, cleaned her again but this time I used hoppes grease with oil, much better the slide is moving easier now, it seems to me kahrs like grease... i can't wait to take this puppy out for nice a walk...

Did you use the Hoppes #9 Gun Grease or something different by them...gotta get some oil this week.

That's what I keep telling folks but the experts don't always agree. One thing to keep in mind is to ignore lube point 7. You should run the striker assembly dry.

Actually, glad I saw this part...I was doing the drop of oil on point 7...I guess I missed that from the previous ton of posts...LOL

yep thats what I used, big difference compared to just oil alone, I use ballistol oil, which is pretty good it's thick, but my pm9 likes grease. it's so much smoother now and easier to rack, less resistance even though you can still feel there is a very powerful spring in there.

Mine like Tetra Gun Grease. Actually all of my guns like that stuff.

Johna I want to really thank you for the lubeing of the gun.I'm a new cm9 owner and have 300 plus rounds and this was the first guide to get me to do it right.
Thanks again

What about using grease instead? I think is better as last longer and did not mess with the ammo.

[Flincher]

Great thread. I'll start using a good grease in lieu of lite Remoil on my little P380 BUG.

Newbie question

I forgot #7 was even there, it should not be for oil. I put TW25 grease in all placwes it says "coat" and oil those saying oli EXCEPT #7. I do very lightly coat the front side of the striker tab sticking up as the cam works that. But then I also lightly coat the cams.

Brand new to the forum, brand new to pistols, brand new to Kahr. I just ordered my CM9 the other night from Buds. So forgive my ignorance....

So you only use oil for 5 & 7? Grease for the rest?

[OldLincoln]

First of all, lube point 7 should not be on the chart. You should not oil or lube the striker channel as it can attract debris. That is pretty much true for most striker fired pistols.

Others will disagree about my use of grease over oil but I do. My reasoning is the Kahr is very tight new and generates a lot of friction as the metal parts rub together. I used oil which did what it could but the inside top of the slide was discolored blue from the heat generated by a slight burr on the barrel hood rubbing that spot. Grease stays put longer and adds protection.

Once all is running smooth and no issues, you can use either oil or grease. I use TW25 in the syringe which is easy to apply and continue to grease. I admit I use it in the rails also because the syringe fits nicely and can run a very light bead.

Thanks OldLincoln! You buy yours online?

Edit- I found it on Amazon

[Cristofori]

When oiling #7, it says to "put a very small drop of oil in the corner". Which corner? The right or the left? The left corner on the slide has a little hole where the oil will run down. Is this right?

Also, is this the actual recommended lube spots by Kahr? The OP says this was taken off from Glocktalk.
