I have let someone else shoot it, the rangemaster and he did manage to have it lock back once on him. I also tried it left handed, as recommended by the kahr forum guys and I did have it happen once iirc. Believe it or not, when I told the rep that I tried shooting left handed and it malfunctioned he wanted to go after my grip again... lol.Shoot it left handed. That will solve the mystery of your thumbs hitting the slide lock lever. You can't hit it if your thumbs are on the other side. What was their explanation for the sights falling off ?? And it was the factory that installed them, and not the gun shop you ordered it from?
I hear all you guys talking about the slide stop being locked back by my thumb, but how come I can't make it lock back if I try by pressing up on the lever when shooting? Maybe the violence of the round going off is knocking me off it or the timing isn't right when I try to do it, but it seems odd.
As for the sight issue, they keep putting their head in the sand about it and NEVER once apologized about how ridiculous it was. And yep, this is FACTORY installed both times. So sad! I will definately go at it with some locktite when it gets back. I was just told not to by the tech on the phone because I was sending it back for the issue I was having.
I really wished I'd be one of the ones braggin' about my CM9... maybe I will someday!
Funny how I feel different about it all the time, one day I'm going to sell it the day it gets back... the next I'm planning on keeping it and willing to put some major JHP to 'proof' it.
Time will tell, let's see what happens. I put my contact info in the box and asked that a manager contact me about this experience... I am not holding my breath but would be ecstatic if they at least tried. They have been so mechanical about it, like we're talking about defective printer paper or something, not a $400 + SD weapon.
As for the gent who feels reluctant about his and hasn't shot it - I understand completely. I went into this thinking there could be some risk - and got friggin burned.
At least I found a rebate for $10 on remington JHP golden sabers - check their website. I get to recoup some of my loot - I wish it wasn't limited to $10!!
