Finally after two weeks I got off early today and grabbed the Kahr along with my Diamondback 380 and headed to the range.
After watching the Kahr website presentation several times I field stripped the pistol for a good cleaning and lubing first which was fairly straight forward.
I first decided to burn a a half box of .380 ammo to keep in practice with my daily carry and then got started on the Kahr.
My first thoughts were how stiff the magazine springs were when loading this thing and for some reason particularly so on the included spare seven round mag.
I brought along three boxes of 115 FMJ ammo and this was Winchester White Box,Remington UMC,and Magtech.
The first two magazines out of the standard magazine using the WWB was perfect.
I then put the seven round mag in and the pistol had a failure to feed on the second or third round with the WWB.
After 25 rounds I switched over to the UMC and again everything fed,fired,and ejected perfectly using both mags.
So after 25 rounds of the UMC I wanted to try the Magtech.
Again zero problems.
So in 75 rounds with three different types of ammo using two different magazines I had exactly one FTF and as hard as that magazine is to load I truely think it was the issue.
Hopefully it will loosen up with use as for right now my fingers are sore!
This pistol is pretty accurate and I am pretty much a pistol noob.
The recoil,though much more than my 380, is not bad at all.
Will be heading back to the range in the next day or two to see how the last half of the three boxes do.
So far I like this pistol and look forward to getting some holsters for it to try it out for the day to day walk in life.
I also ordered another 450 rounds of various 9mm to try out and to soon have this pistol broken in so I can try some different SD loads.
