Snapcaps and resetting the striker

[wyntrout]

Hi, I've seen a lot of complaints about how hard it is to pull the Kahr slides to the rear, especially when using snapcaps for dry firing. You only need one snapcap and to pull the slide back about half an inch to reset the striker each time, without ejecting the snapcap! You can hear the click as it resets. This is a lot easier than loading magazines with snapcaps and cycling them through the gun, unless you just want the exercise!
It's also handy to try additional attempts at firing a failure to fire, without ejecting the darn thing. Keep the gun pointed down range and your hands clear of the back of the slide in case the darn thing is a hangfire. That round is best left in the gun pointed in a safe direction, rather than ejecting it!

I must had developed strong arms and hands, becuase every auto pisto that I get, rack them about 200 times (Many years ago when I took my CCW course the instructor told me that the auto pistol should be rack at least that many times), I did not find this difficult for my. But Kahr pistol are stiff though.
