Hey all, I'm pretty new the Kahr pistols and this forum. I just picked up a used Kahr P40 on monday and was shopping for ammunition today.
I had bought two boxes (D'oh!) of Remington HD Ultimate Home Defense, assuming that they would feed properly into the magazine. As you can see in the pics, the tips of the bullets don't clear the front of my mag and wouldn't allow me to load more than two, three if I'm lucky. I did have two get stuck while trying to see if they would fit.
They also didn't chamber well. I'm not saying that these rounds are no good, I just want to give everyone who owns a 40 cal Kahr that it may not fit in their mag. It sucks that they don't allow ammo returns but I understand why they don't. I'm not sure what year my P40 is or if there are different mags out there that are newer and possibly improved clearance wise(please enlighten if you can). All other bullets that I've loaded into the mag so far have fit well and chambered OK.
Thanks in advance for input!
Sorry about the quality.
