Hello all -
Just wanted to share my story for those considering a Kahr firearm. I have a Kahr CM9 and I have had it for about 4 months. In that time, the firearm has been to the factory now 3 times. I sent it in with 'nosedive jam' issues well after the break in period at a rate of about 10%, and with the slide locking back when the mag wasn't empty.
It came back and now it doesn't nose dive, but I still have the slide locking back issue. So, we'll see how they do this time.
I also paid to have them <the factory!> install night sights right when I bought the gun, and can you believe that the front sight fell off the first time I took it to the range.
So I found the screw and put it back on, but after a call to customer care they suggested that I send the firearm back to them... so when they had it, they replaced the front sight so it wouldn't fall off again. Well, when at the range to proof their work (and burning up my money with JHP rounds) the sight fell off again.
So, I have a firearm I have spent more than $250 in range fees and ammo on... plus I have all the time sending it back and forth invested, the cost of the night sights, etc and I have not yet had a trip to the range without issue. :banghead:
I really am frustrated, to say the least. I have read post after post at the kahr forums where people have all sorts of issues. A lot of folks over there want to help, but it's staggering the number of poor reports for the CM9 and PM9... talk of sanding down parts on the gun to make it work right, etc. It's just wild. It's only my experience, and only with this firearm but after this I will never consider a Kahr ever again.
Thanks -
