Both my father and I just bought new Kahr CM40's this past weekend and immediately took them out back to start breaking them in. After the third or fourth magazine in my father's gun, he had a failure to feed. We pulled the mag out and noticed that there was a problem in the magazine. So we took the magazine apart and noticed that the front lip on the plastic follower had broken. The magazine no longer functions as it should now, obviously. So, my father called Kahr on Monday to tell them about it only to be told that they would call him back regarding it...let him know if they were going to ship him a new follower for free or if they were going to charge him for it. Not sure why it would take that long for a decision or why it would warrant a call back versus just telling him then.
This is our first experience with Kahr firearms (between the two of us, we have MANY other types and manufacturers' guns). Just curious as to what others' experiences have been with Kahr. In the grand scheme of things, I realize that this is a pretty small and a relatively inexpensive problem to fix; however, it is also BRAND NEW and it should not have broken so soon.
We got them through Davidson's and have thought about just returning it through them but I think they would have us return the gun too and then who knows how long it would be before they had any of these in stock again in order to replace it. Not to mention we would have to go back to the FFL dealer, fill out the paperwork, etc. all over again.
I really hate to say it, since it's the main reason why I purchased it, but if I can't trust my new Kahr CM40, I won't conceal carry it. It's a real shame that right now I have more faith in my Taurus TCP than a Kahr. I'm honestly not trying to bash either of them, as I willingly and purposefully purchased both, but come on...
He still hasn't heard back from Kahr either.
Thoughts?
