I took my Kahr K-40 to the range yesterday and I noticed that the ejected brass was deformed. The brass was ejecting fine but it was scraped and bent on one side. The owner of the range looked at the spent brass, which was Winchester White Box, and determined that there was nothing to worry about because the gun was ejecting the spent brass. The fact that the gun is new and that Kahr sets their tolerences so close, that he felt the problem would gradually go away as the gun got broken in a little more. He also said that using the cheap WWB ammo could contribute to the problem. He determined by looking at the spent brass, that he could see where the extractor was engaging the casing and the scratches and bent part of the brass would have been facing up while the cartridge was in the breech. Possibly the slide was dragging over the brass as it cycled.
His opinion, don't worry about it Can any of you folks out there shed some light on what could be causing this and should I forget about it? Could the cheap WWB ammo be the problem? Will this problem go away with use?
