have u read the propper prepping thread?? on the ahr tech section. U could have a magazine release button grabbing on the follower and causing this. The gun can't count, so it would have to be in the magazine.
If ur talking about 147 grain ammo. u might check the OAL o the rounds to see if they could be bnding in the magazine. If the gun cycles perfect with 124 grain and 115 grin, then IMO, u need to get away from the 147 grain ammo. more than likeyl the magzines springs are in correctly but again I would check that out also. It has happened before.
U bought it used, what is the date of birth on the gun (serial #).Last edited by jocko; 11-14-2012, 02:27 PM.. My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

OP, can you please describe in detail what is happening? We can't help with what you've given us.
jocko... you are full of good information and help for kahr owners. I don't know if you're typing on a tablet one handed while herding cats or what, but your posts are so darned hard to read.

More info needed. And jocko is herding horses, not cats."I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend."

Serial Number is VB9801 if that helps. I polished the feed ramp and the mag lips. dosnt seem to help. If I put more that 4 rounds in the mag and I "slingshot" the slide, the round wont chamber .The round hits the bottom of the feed ramp . I have tried 124 grain HST Federal, also tried 115 ball ammo and same results. If I hit the back of the slide it will go into battery. Thanks again for the help.

I'm now using Hornady Critical Duty 135gr. +P. Feeds OK, expands really well, and Jacket stays on the bullet. Plus it's 25 rounds per box and I can function test it more in my giun.The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.
Want to see what will be the end of our country as we know it???

I would just go to anutter brand of ammo and shoot thegun for anutter 500+ rounds with what ever works fine for u and then just retry again and see what flows. Sometimes a gun just needs to get to a certain stage (what ever that is) and it then seems to like things it din't like at first. Certainly not worth getting to excited over either as there are just to many great OTHER rounds out there..No doubt if it works with the other brands, then it must be the ammo and IMO not the gun, These gun companies make good guns,, most all do but they can;'t forsee every ammo makers rounds either and there fore u might just incur a gun that does not like certain rounds where as ur buddies does. It is what it is.
MyP380 did not like 102 golden sabres, most here report no issues. I just do not trust the 380 with thqat round, so my round of choice and total reliability is the powerball.... My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border
