Maybe someone can answer me this.

I have a real issue with Kahr/Thompsons lack of anwering technical email questions. 3 seperate incidents, in which I asked Kahr Thompson a few technical or parts order question - with absolutely no response! What is the purpose of having that service, if they are not going to answer back. With my work schedule - I cannot be on the phone for endless time, and sometimes cannot be on the phone at all (driving!)

Before I bought my Thompson - I asked a question on ammo type usage, and got no answer.

AFTER I bought my Thompson - I had issues with my stick magazine, and asked them for advice to get it to run - again no answer.

Recently - I was given some Cabelas Gift cards. I contacted Cabelas about ordering aT30 violin case for my Thompson - since they offer special orders, and since they carry Kahr & Auto Ordnance firearms. Cabelas was very fast to get the ball rolling - and contacted Kahr/ Thompson about ordering. They too contacted via web. Over a week and half later, Cabelas contacted me back, and told me they are waiting for a response from Kahr. Again no response from Kahr. Do they really not want my money?

Is this the current state of Kahr Arms ? This seems to be an issue you see alot on the web about Kahr. I really hope this not how the company handles their customers. With all the competitve firearms companies out there, customer service makes a big difference these days.

If they are to busy to answer emails - a simple courtesy response (even if automated) stating they are backed ups and will answer as soon as possible is a proper thing. If your email service is no longer used - then take the link off of your web page - and notify so.

Sorry I had to rant - but I find this unacceptable, and really hope Kahr changes their business practice.

I have asked technical questions to Kahr support via email on several occasions and received quality responses within 24 hours.
Ordering parts online from the Kahr website on several occasions has always delivered the correct parts in a timely fashion.
I've had nothing but good service from Kahr.

Sorry to hear you're having issues.

Well an update...

Its been over 3 weeks, and Cabelas who is trying to do a special order from Kahr/Thompson.... still got no response from them. I guess I'll be spending my money elsewhere. This is prime example of what I mean.
