Last week I had trouble with WWB ammo taking a nose dive in the 7 round mag...always the second round in the stack. Never a problem in the 6 round mag. This week with my carry round, Golden Saber 124+P, the 7 round mag was perfect. However...the six round mag, which has been perfect until now (except for a very occasional "pop-out" with FTFeed), started popping out much more. Started out once or twice in a 6 round stack and the last mag full popped out every single shot (have to shove the mag back in and rack the slide to load a round). When I got home I cleaned the mag release shelf on the inside of the handle and took the mag apart and cleaned it (it really wasn't dirty) and inspected it. I couldn't find anything out of order. Could a dirty mag release shelf cause this? Or should I get the new mag release unit I hear Kahr is making now out of metal.

I also have the polymer base plate on the 6 round mag...perhaps I should file down the front part of the polymer that sticks forward. I noticed if I held the PM9 with my pinky under the mag it did not pop out once (only did that for one 6 round stack because it kinda hurt).

For now I'm back to my XD9SC for carry until I can get this sorted out.

Thoughts?

New mag catch is on the way. Thanks Kahr! Will try the base plate swap if the new catch doesn't fix it. I've already sanded a little more of the top of the plastic base plate. According to Jay, the metal mag catch came into being in 2008 (Mine was purshased in '10) but they are sending me a new one anyway. I've found Kahr customer service to be top drawer.

Back in business. New mag catch worked.
