OK while talking to Kahr today about a replacement mag the issue of recoil spring replacement came up.
I told him that I was nearing the 1k mark in my P380 just in conversation about how pleased I am with it.
He (without my prodding ... honest) told me that he would send me a set of springs for the P380 in the box with the mag and said that I am nearing the point where I would want some on hand.
He said that they recommend 1500 to 2000 rounds to switch out the spring / assembly...
Told him that I have a new MK9 and want to send in the 7 rounder and ask for a 6... after giving him my reasoning on why he told me to send it in and that they would replace it no problem...
He then goes on to say "I will include a recoil spring assembly for the MK9 as well cause you will need it some time down the road"..
So..
First off this is what I call customer service... outstanding !
Secondly and the reason for this post...
How often do you all change out springs or assemblies on your Kahrs?
Really interested on those who have LARGE round counts...hint hint....
Do you wait for issues first then replace them? or would replacement at a given interval be better cause since these are carry pieces you may have that first failure at a really bad time...
Sorry if this has been covered but I can't find a specific thread about it.
