I was on vacation when we got to the top of some beautiful vista with an ODOT gravel pile. I was looking east and I think I could see about 20-30% of Oregon at once. I was near Shaniko.
I decided the gravel pile and stop was a good place to pull out my new (to me) Kahr P45 and put some rounds in the gravel. I shot the full 7 rounds into the gravel pile, hit slide lock and began to reload. As I changed the orientation of the pistol I noticed the guide rod was sticking out the front. I stopped and field stripped it and found the nail head portion of the guide rod had corkscrewed into the spring about 30-50%.
Any comments, besides whiskey tango foxtrot!?
I undid the mess and used the other end of the guide rod, seeing no real difference from one end to the other, and ran another magazine through it without issue.
Anyone else have this problem. I can't seem to find a Wolff kit, but I best look again as I was looking for magazine springs at the time.
Just sharing. Gun was in failure mode, but kept working. I like that. Never seen this before with any gun. Time to read the manual, but again, I saw no real difference from one end of the spring to the other.
