The CM9 has been back for a while. The issue was duplicated and the firearm was returned with a polished feed ramp. I took it to the range with 50 count boxes of Federal, Remington and WWB FMJ 9mm. There was 1 failure per box for a 2% FTF rate. I have about 500 rounds through the CM9. To the Kahr experts; "Should I send it back to Kahr for additional work or is 2% what I can expect?"

The CM9 is going back to Kahr today. I will post the resolution on it's return.

Sunday Coupons! True Story: My wife was at Publix using some coupons and the manager said to her "There was a lady last week who saved $200.00" She blushed and said "That was me." Our grocery bills aren't always that high, but that week we had family in.

I am in for the revolver, but ask and answer "Does she have the strength to pull what possibly could be a 12 pound trigger?" A friend and TGO members wife, a healthy 30 something, could not pull my wife's 642 trigger.

Purchased a 1000 rounds of 9mm reloads. No issues to report.

Cut the grass, take my daughter to karate and if there is time, wash the car.

Good price. This shouldn't last long.

So true. The racking I was doing was part of the preparing your Kahr. I wore gloves, watched TV and still earned myself a blister.

RWF, I took no offense. I am trying to understand that too, but I have to follow the Kahr customer service playbook and exhaust all the options. " I think " the theory behind the recoil spring is the slide is not being thrust backward sufficiently and/or is closing the window of opportunity for the round to be chambered due to the tightness of the recoil spring. I must say I have never come across a semi-automatic pistol this hard to rack.

Yes it is the same as the PM9. The closed loop is slipped onto the guide rod first.

The Kahr was prepped and magazine disassembled, cleaned and checked. The USA Ammo and WWB are consistent and the Federal is the odd man out. Next time out I will bring the Federal, but if the CM9 is that picky after 300 rounds I am a little concerned. The CM9 comes with a 5 year warranty. I am sure we can get this resolved by then. I am interested to see if the recoil spring they are sending is the shorter version in the PM9.

I purchased my Kahr CM9 last month and ran the first 200 rounds with only three malfunctions. All outings since I can’t run a six round magazine without a nose dive jam (round is wedged just below the feed ramp at a downward angle). The nose dive jam always occurs on the second or third round. Before I go on let me tell you the first round is chambered per Kahr specification. Friday I called Kahr to discuss the problem. I described it the same way as above. The Kahr representative asked if I was the first owner and my name and address (no serial number). He said they would send me a new recoil spring. Yesterday (Sunday) I had the opportunity to shoot the CM9 using MonkeyLizard’s PM9 magazine. You see I initially thought the problem might be the magazine, but the CM9 jammed the same way with the PM9 magazine. We took the guns over to my house to clean and noticed on visual inspection the CM9 recoil spring was ½ to 1 inch longer (I should have gotten the tape measure, but I didn’t). I did question how I got through the first 200 rounds with only three malfunctions. All I can tell you is that day all 200 rounds where Federal Champion purchased at Wal-Mart. All other outings were either WWB or USA Ammo reloads. ** There is another thread discussing USA Ammo. This ammo has nothing to do with the issue. It has performed in other 9mm handguns. I would purchase it again. **

I can tell you the XDSC .40 is not 20oz and I don't think there is a dimes worth of weight difference in the 9mm. I believe the fully loaded XDSC .40 (9+1) is about 32oz. If someone doesn't beat me to it I will throw the it on the scale tonight.

Buy your tickets online and save some money. Price at the gate is at least $5 more per ticket. The online price will go up to gate price at 5:00pm today.

We must have been neighbors a few years ago. It pains me to buy a ticket when I used to stand in the backyard. We backed up to airport property.

I was pleasantly surprised my assessment value has gone down by 14%. Its back down to 2006 levels.

Save some money and buy your ticket in advance. Smyrna/Rutheford County Airport I used to watch the show from my backyard before I moved. My property backed up to airport property. I am buying a ticket for Sunday. https://s3.amazonaws.com/attendstar-client-assets/event/755/gtas_factsheet.pdf

I have heard great things about this gun, but there are smaller options in 9mm if a smaller size if what you are looking for.

Loaded side by side in Hyskore Stackable 7-Gun Pistol Rack Vinyl Coated Steel Gray - MidwayUSA. The pick shows two racks one stacked on the other. I dont recommend stacking.

Did this and the product was delivered as advertised in 20 50 round boxes.

Let us know when you get that cleared up and I will resend you that PM that was the likely cause of the notification
