Broken Striker

[steveschu]

My P380 striker (RC6XXX) sounded dull and lacked 'snap' so I took off the cover to take a look....I found the striker broken and the percussion point to be mushroomed like an old chiesel head. Email sent to customer service tonight.

If you sent that picture and your pistol's serial number, they should send you a new striker pretty quickly. This is rare. I think that yours is the third in my 3+years here. Metal failures do happen, though.

Crap... I'm wondering what caused THAT....

Bad heat treat, poor surface finsih.. I duno. Using unobtanium snap caps?

Just sayin... thats WEIRD lookin

I received a new striker today and it should be fine. My email to Kahr customer service on 10-9 resulted in a new striker received on 10-12. Very prompt service~!
My thread was not posted as a complaint, but as a heads-up to forum members who could possibly experience the same defect, the Kahr P380 is one fine pistol!

The striker broke on my mk9 with the same symptoms that were mentioned. Kahr had the gun picked up and sent back fixed. It works fine now maybe mine was bad from the start. The trigger pull is lighter and has a smooth break now. Would that make my gun #4 or am I one of the 3.
