    Kahr CM9 Issues

    I had to send mine back after the first 300 rounds. They fixed it, but it was still a PIA, and I'm not a subscriber to the theory that "alls well that ends well". Ask Ian (CSR at Kahr) for a shipping label. If you don't ask, they might stick you with the shipping ($100 or so total). I...

    Pocket pistol! Reliabilty is my first choice!!

    Lots of positive comments here on the pm9/cm9 Kahr's. I would advise a slow approach to those. I have a CM9 that had troubles and had to go back to the factory. It is running great now (500 rounds after it came back, no issues of any kind). Lots of chatter indicative of many guns either...

    What do you like and hate about your Kahr?

    The trigger on a Kahr is a lot like a double action revolver, only a little smoother. (IMO.) I learned a long time ago that I can't worry too much about getting a fine sight picture when shooting double action. I shoot a lot better if I try to get a smooth pull straight through to the shot...

    What do you like and hate about your Kahr?

    skip to the 'good/bad/ugly'...the rest of this is just hot air. Respectfully: if you want to brag about your Kahr, they will love you and join you in singing Kahr praises in loud, manly voices. If you have a problem, they will tell you in this order: you didn't read your manual, you didn't...

    Federal FliteControl 12 gauge load

    I just did a very limited test in a new stock 870P. I knew the flite-control was going to be good from all the reading I had done, so I just tested the PD132 00 against that GI 00 buckshot from Midway instead of picking a lot of different shells to test. (I know from testing turkey chokes that...

    Your view on Hydra-Shok ammo?

    Reading this is much like reading internet discussions regarding the most effective broad head for bowhunting deer. Lots and lots of opinions but the capability to actually prove anything just doesn't exist because of the number of variables. One thing is certain: the R&D and Marketing Depts...

    Brand New CZ Duty is broked.

    I won't comment on whining, service reps, CZ reliability or the upcoming election. I think I will comment on gun forums: I just "broked" a new sub compact (brand name not relevant). I let my brother shoot it, too. It misfired a couple of times while he was shooting it. His response: "Wow...

    Kahr CM9 woes

    I bought one and had to send it back due light striker hits. The CS dept. at Kahr couldn't have been more professional and paid for shipping both ways. They had the pistol 14 days. They replaced the slide and the barrel. I haven't tested it yet, since I just got it back. I'm hopeful they...

    Gun Shows

    Way back when (way back when there wasn't an internet) gun shows had a lot more going for them than they do today. Imagine trying to sell your cool Glock fast so you can buy a cooler AR if the only two ways you could do that were newspaper want ads or finding a willing dealer. It was tough. I...

    Saw my first open carry yesterday

    I believe in the right to keep and bear arms, I have a concealed carry permit and I sometimes, but not always, carry. I'm in favor of both concealed and open carry. I don't condemn anyone for their choice in the matter, so long as their intent is to defend themselves and their family. I am a...

    A Canadian WW I & WW II Colt Government Model....

    John, many years ago I collected martial marked 1911's. I got really busy, lost interest and sold them all...most to David Buehn (I think that's correct) out in CA. When I sold them I bought a Kriegoff skeet gun and new Jeep for my daughter. Had I held onto them, I probably could have bought...

    wasted 17 HMR

    Works well for prairie dogs for me out to about 160 yds or so, if there isn't a big wind blowing. The noise level for the 17HMR seems to be low enough that it doesn't spook all the close-in dogs when you start shooting. After cleaning up out to 150, switch to the centerfires. I have seen some...

    What is the biggest POS with a most ridiculous price tag you ever seen at a gun show?

    When the gun shows in Texas go sour, that's not good news. I used to love to got to Texas on business because you could always find a great show somewhere. I've about quit going. I still think it's fun to stand around and see what the crowd drags in to sell, but even that's not worth the...

    Heavy barrel Vs. Free float

    Captcurt has it right. Heavy barrels dissipate heat better and will maintain zero better (all other things equal) longer in the shot string than a light whippy barrel. I have an ultralight that weighs five pounds and shoots under a half inch all day...as long as I wait a couple minutes in...

    .17 HMR or .22 mag

    I've shot both cartridges a bunch. Like a lot of others have said, they are different beasts entirely. I finally dumped my last 22WMR rifle. I just couldn't find a use for it beyond shooting at cans. I found the 22WMR to be inherently inaccurate and more gun than needed on squirrels and such...

    204 Ruger

    I shoot a 20 Tactical, which has similar ballistic performance. As said above, great for prairie dogs. I love 223's out to about 350 yards. Yep, they'll shoot farther than that, and many will tell you they shoot it successfully past that. I can't. From 350 out to 500 (maybe stretch a little...
