    Kahr CW-40 update...

    Yep, that's exactly right. I've lost confidence in it... Just like if I had a car break down on me on a cross-country trip. Sure, I could get it fixed to be like new, but there'd always be that "what if" in my head, even though the chances of something happening again are small. Hopefully...

    Kahr CW-40 update...

    Some of you may remember from older threads about my having problems with my CW-40. First problem was that the non-load-bearing part of a frame rail (right side of pistol) was splitting. Sent to Kahr, they replaced the frame. They also polished up my bbl feed ramp as I'd asked them to try...

    Too bad you're not able to file some kind of "lemon law" claim... sheesh. -j-

    Anyone know if these Polish P-64 Makarovs are any good?

    I used to own one... It was pretty good looking, nice deep finish on it. Kicked like a mule, though. Ergonomics left much to be desired = painful recoil. As has been said, the double action trigger pull is atrocious. It's up around 20lbs. Many folks put in a Walther spring to lighten...

    Broken Kahr...imagine that...

    I've been to Pop Guns several times...either to browse or to use their range. I've never bought a firearm from them, though. They tend to be slightly on the high side for the area. Plus, the last few times I've been in there, I've basically been ignored. If you're not in a LEO uni or...

    Broken Kahr...imagine that...

    First of all, jocko, thank you for the PM. I don't know if anyone else experienced it, but yesterday afternoon, there were some "server timeout" issues here on THR. They wouldn't let me respond in kind. Thank you again. My CW-40 will be picked up by FedEx tomorrow sometime...on Kahr's...

    Broken Kahr...imagine that...

    Trying to spread the word near and far... My CW-40 MUST go back to the mother ship. After this, I may very well have to swear 'em off. I read just about every Kahr thread that I find; I usually always manage to give a thumb's up, at least to the CW line of pistols. Until now. Was...

    Just be sure that CCWing isn't verboten on/in/around public transportation in your area... -J-

    Asked if I had a gun when donating plasma

    Stop age discrimination!

    Doesn't the study alluded to above actually reference 25 years old for the brain development to be complete? I know there are scores of idiot 21-25 year olds out there...members of our Armed Forces included. Too bad there isn't an easy remedy for it! -J-

    Took some college kids shooting...(with pictures)

    Outstanding!! Oh how I wish I could've gotten hooked up with something like that when I was in school. Let me tell you, there weren't any women that purdy in MY astronomy class. hehe. Physics...yes. Astronomy...no. Unfortunately now, I'm EXTREMELY close to being "that creepy old man"...

    Attention all Kahr .40 owners!

    There is, quite possibly, a problem with your mag. followers. You just might not know it yet! After having 2 out of 3 followers broken on my CW-40 mags, I called Kahr to inquire about replacements. As soon as the guy heard me say that I had broken followers, he knew that I was talking...

    Indoor ranges > Cause Health Problems?

    The "good" thing about acute and/or chronic lead poisoning is that it your body will metabolize the Pb out of your system once removed from the source. However, long-term chronic exposure can cause damage that won't be repaired. -J-

    Good ol' lay away...

    So I owe a grand total of about $550 to two different gun shops on totally opposite ends of Indianapolis... :what: I noticed a green .40 Walther P99 (older...with the ski-hump in the trigger guard) languishing away in the case. They were asking $418 for it...two mags, case, etc. Upon...

    Do we have a Hi-Power Club?

    I have an FM that came with Hogue wrap-arounds. This thing is an absolute tack driver! Any ideas of what color wooden grips look best with the black color of the FMs? I have trouble imagining what would look best with a black frame and slide...light colored wood, or dark colored wood...

    Problem with my P99: opinions?

    Long story short.... Gunsmith at Gander Mountain spoke with a S&W rep, then a Walther rep. They want the gun back at the mother ship to determine what's wrong. Evidently it's quite a perplexing problem for everyone! -J-

    Problem with my P99: opinions?

    Yes, there is failure to fire. Upon the slow trigger pull in "single action mode", it essentially de-cocks and returns to double action.

    Problem with my P99: opinions?

    I have posted this on another board that I frequent a little more often, so some of you may have seen this before. This is concerning my 9mm Walther P99 "Stress Action", even though mine predates this designation. Initially, I thought it was a problem with the striker, gunsmith agreed...
