I bought a new T9, 3 weeks ago (after a hard, long search). My brother has a CW 40 that he let me shoot and I could not miss with that gun. I decided I wanted one for my own, But I wanted one that my wife would enjoy shooting. She actually shoots better than me, not that I would ever tell her, but she always complains about the recoil, which I have to agree with her on the 40, as it not only kicked her up but I also saw it twisting in her hand. I looked in to the kahr lineup and really liked what I saw on the T9. It is a very pretty gun, in my opion, and it is heavy enough that the recoil should be light in the 9mm, and with a 4" barrel I hope that it is as accurate as my brother's gun. My problem is that after recieving the gun, I read the book, I watched the Kahr take down vidio, and read the forum on how to clean and lube a new pistol, I took my gun down and tried to follow the directions as much as possible (up till now i have been a revolver only guy), The gun came apart as advertized allowing me to clean & lube it but when I tried to re-assemble it, it would not go back together, it would only slide on so far. I tried going back through all the media, but found no answers to my problem. The only thing I found was that you should not try to force the gun which i didn't.
I have tried several times to to call Kahr technical assistance and I guess they must be very busy people because I waited for what seem likes 15 minutes each time only to be knocked out of the loop, and must start over, only to be knocked out again. It was during one of these sessions that I discovered that by pressing down on part # 31 which is the ejector that my slide would go back on, which pleased me to be able to put my gun back together, but now I am worried about shooting the gun as nowhere have I not seen that problem in any info or on the forum.
I have left Kahr a message with my name and phone as it seems as than is how they wish to answer any questions, as they will not pick up the phone at all, asking if it was safe to go ahead and shoot. Still I have no answer to date, and as it has been 3 weeks I think I will just take my chances and shoot the thing.
I am sorry this message is so long but I was really happy to buy an American weapon, but service after the sale is what seperates the good from the great and now I feel like I have a good gun.
