Hello everyone, I'm obviously new to this forum but I have done a bit of searching to see if anybody else has had the same issue as I. I have recently purchased a Kahr CW45; To me it seemed to be the perfect combination of concealability, caliber, pointability, and price. After carefully reading the instruction manual, I went out for the next week and fired the recommended 200rds for the break in period.
My issue is this: Every time I fire the pistol, the slide stop pops out a bit...the pistol then becomes 50%-75% reliable, and when the magazine is empty, the chamber does not stay open as designed. I called Kahr and they informed me that I probably bent the slide stop spring and they're sending me another one. How could I have done this if I followed the instructions to a T...is this a sign of things to expect from this pistol? Has anyone else had this issue?
Just to clarify my position on this, the firearm, when firing, was surprising accurate and the recoil was MUCH less that I expected. It seems as this would be the perfect CW besides the biggest issue...reliability.
