New member here, first post. Looks like a great resource for Kahr owners here. This is my 3rd Kahr. I started off with a P9 that I traded in a fit of "need that other thing now". Came back to the fold with a PM9 for summer carry in Florida. But I always wanted the original K9, they've just been scarce and/or too expensive. When I found the NYPD trade-ins I decided now was the time. I chose one off Gunbroker and it cost me $421 after all was said & done.
I just finished a detail strip & clean of the top half including new striker & recoil springs, and a halfway cleanup on the lower half. I have 2 questions I hope you all can help me with:
First, the ejector is able to move up and down a little bit, and on reassembly can hang up on the underside of the slide. No big deal, just press down and she goes. It also appears there is no where for the part to move during cycling. Is this a normal condition?
Second, during dry firing (have not live fired it yet), with the trigger pulled firmly back, the disconnector is very stiff, making it significantly more difficult to rack the slide. If I loosen up a bit on the trigger, it is easier to rack the slide. Do you have any suggestions? Neither the P9 nor the PM9 have done this. I will spend more time looking it over later to see if I can identify the problem.
Thank you!
Dave
