Recently I've been doing a lot searching for a ccw weapon. After much reading on THR I've finally decided to purchase a Kahr MK9. I found one w/ Night Sights on Bud's Online.
After much anticipation, I went to pick it up from my local gun shop when it arrived. Upon inspection, I noticed that the front sight looked a little unusual-the night sight was actually installed backwards.
My local guy suggested that it was a simple fix to just pop out the sight and reinstall it but I read somewhere that sight installtion was very tough on these particular slides. The saleperson from Bud's suggested that I should have sent it back to them before I took possesion of the pistol. He also confirmed that it's very difficult to reinstall and Kahr actually has a hydraulic press just for this.
Anyway, I telephoned Kahr and had to leave a message for the customer service department to call me back. I will keep everyone posted.
Also, I haven't taken the gun to the range yet. But I was just working the pistol through it actions and noticed several times the slide does not return to full battery when manually releasing it. Is this normal for this gun? Thanks for any responses.
