View Full Version : newbie question

I know I am an ol timer but I have two kahrs,one has that chip in the rail and the other does not. Should I send the one in with no chip and ask kahr to put in that chip?? Or should I weld the one with the chip in it and then file it down so it looks like it never had the chip??
I am very confused and I have been here a long time and I don't see this in the kahr FAQ and I am concerned. Both guns have never failed but this mysterious chip/no cip is just driving me bonkers. I have been confused before, as sometimes we have company over and the wife puts two forks at my plate and one is bigger than the other. Not wanting to embarass myself with guests, I don't ask which one to use for what kind of food, so I just use my fingers and tell um to go fokk themselves. It seems to work pretty good, for normally not a word is ever said after that. So this is not my first rodeo of being confused but I love u guys (mano mano way) and I know u will guide ol jocko right.
God bless u guys:israel:

Not all of my polymers have the "missing chip" either. What I don't unnerstand is the little scratches on the slide and frame on the left side... like... WTF?:confused:

Dang! Hi, getsome (what?). I've been thinking about getting some kind of "assault" rifle that would defeat body armor and shoot through engine blocks. I don't have any place to shoot one and I'm not sure my fireplace hearth would be stout enough for a backstop. I can't even find more than one phonebook, either. "They" started sending our about four different ones... all imitating "Bell's" and we would recycle them all. Now I can't even find a White Pages.
I was thinking that to sight one in, I would just use my laser boresighter and hope for the best if the SHTF!

Jocko, I thought everyone knew about the fork deal. You are supposed to use the one that closest matches the size of your "tool". Big fork for big guys and Little fork for small tool guys. Guys with 2" tools or shorter, use their fingers.;)

Man, I think about you every time I see or think about a phonebook!:D
I've been thinking about sandbags... I could dig a moat and use the dirt... but dirt is not as good for SANDbags... doesn't stop boolits as well!.
We're about broke... will be after the next VISA payoff. I've been buying a bit of gun fodder... about $2,500 more in the last 40 days or so. That and my wife's dental work and her car repair have seriously reduced my hobby of online shopping!

wellI just looked at my 2 kahrs and on the right side towards theback it seems kahr screwed up sumpin n the mold process and then just stuck a peace of plastic to fill that space that never got filled in the first place, and then,now get this. One of those peaces has a screw in it and the other looks like a pin head. I know this is not right and I just wrote kahr and I think I got some hard ass there as he told me. "What u are seeing u fokking nit witt is two differerent kahrs made at differenct times. Kahr has the right to make changes without passing it by assholes like u. He sent me a gift certificate for $50 for any kel tek that I feel I would like. I really sensed some hostility from this person to. The nit witt thing realy got to me. I am not handling it well right now either. I was gonna ask them about that little chip out of that cocking cam on my kahrs to. I know it is not supposed to be there but I am afraid to ask now.
I also have a 7 round mag for my small kahrs and it sticks out the bottom of the gun, again I am afraid to ask if this is normal or shoud I box the gun and mag up and send it to kahr. They won't issue a pick up on that issue as I ask and I must have got that same nasty person for he used that same word on me nit witt... Maybe a sticky would help. Just sayin:israel:

Which Asians in particular are you talking about? There's all kinds and some don't use chop sticks or forks either? Some just use knives. These are the real tough ones that you don't want to mess with at all.
Trust me on this.

I made up a nice "sticky" for newbs and it got lost in the pile of stickies. Then I made up a kind of boiler plate bit of text to paste into posts. I hate having to SEARCH and find the links to all of those things every time... several times a day every day... almost!
Manuals are a PITA and I had a K9 for about 12 years by the time I got my first polymer... the LNIB PM9 DLC with NS... at the gun show. After listening to all of you guys talk about PM9's and finding that beautiful little pistol, it was one of the most surreal experiences of my life as I clutched that "golden chalice/holy grail" and walked out of the gun show! I swear that it felt like the scene in Raiders of the Lost Arc... where the Germans were opening the ARC... only without all of the mayhem that followed... just the clouds parting and the light shining down from the heavens!
I had gone to the show hoping just to SEE a PM45... my real PASSION!
Dang! Oh, yeah... the manual. Well, after I got the PM9 home and whenever I got around to taking it apart, I figured... WRONGLY... that it would be just like the K9! I couldn't get it to come apart by lining up the slide cutout over the pin of the slide lock! I had guys on here trying to get me to smack it with a hammer... Jocko, I think! I finally posted a picture of my lineup and someone spoke up about the "Witness Marks"! I vaguely remembered reading about those... I did look at the manual, but I already "Knew" about Kahrs!:rolleyes: So, I, too, was guilty of what we speak now!

My CM9 didn't have the chip in the left slide rail, so I took a file and put one in. I'm not one to be short changed.

I can see a market for a kit to "upgrade" your pistol... directions, a template, and the appropriate sized drill bit to grind the proper "chip"... you know... using the side of a drill bit as a "grinder". Whaddayathink? About $9.95 plus shipping and handling.
Wynn:D

01-18-2013, 12:04 PM
u need to include a grinder tool to fit a dremel in case one does not have a drill. I think ur on to sumpin here my friend. I was gonna offer the same thing free but u pay for shipping an dhandling which was gonna be a flat fee of $35. But being u posted this first I will with draw my idea..

When I dry fire my pistol real slow, upside down, it feels funny.
Also, when It's loaded, and I shake it real hard, there's a rattle.
Plus if I look at the barrel with a magnifying glass.
I can see scratches on the outside.
I'm trying to afford an electron microscope so I can really check this thing out.

I hav eone coming in from Greece, that could be a symbol of where were headed next. actually I call it the France flag not the Israeli flag. I don't see them surrendering to anyone.
I still have a few French war rifles. Brand new , dropped once though but never fired and still in the buttstock is a white flag. . all original. Just sayin

That's why they got the Foreign Legion. The Frenchmen think they are lovers, not fighters.
They do have some nice red wine... since America helped them restore their blighted vineyards with our seedlings.

french people are fokking snobs. The german peole when I was in europe 10 different times always were respecxtufl and often ask if I was American and when I said yes they always came back with Americans good people. The french pr!cks act like they don't understand english when u ask them for sumpin, they give ume that hands around the mouth sh!t like no understand but I know they do as when I then call them a rocksucker or a pr!ck and chicken sh!t. they get ruffled up real fast. They only want to understand what they want to understand. I like France as the cuntry vbut they could drown um all as far as I am concerned. I am told u can't wear a solid white anythig in France for they think ur again surrendering. Might be rumor. Foreign legion, my ass..

For any new folks who might stumble upon this thread I think it was a full moon last night and all these guys were up very late howling.
I'm howling now and you should be too. This is not your everyday normble run of the mill how we do things thread. Lot of truth in it but not normble.

The French Foreign Legion is full of foreigners... lots of criminals and adventurists. If you serve honorably you can have a nice career and citizenship, I believe, but past transgressions are forgiven.

yes colonel, wyn and surv, should get a personal from u setting them right. I know u were not referring to ol jocko, who never gets off track for actualy one has to be on tract in order to get off trace, so that sh!t ain't gonna happen. so don't throw me in the same group as why and surv and the utters.

Don't listen to Bawanna. This is normal.
Continuing the thread drift.
I knew a German that joined the Foreign Legion in the 1950's to get out of some kind of major trouble. Pretty nice guy until some Ahats got him riled up! Got French citizenship out of the deal and a very good job.
Dang jocko, you're fast on the reply! Didn't even get to post this one first.:001_tt2:

I will say thought he French women compared to the hairy ass ape women of germany are just drop dead gorgeous. I hole nuttin against the french women.. Just sayin.

Of course you know that those French women will nag on you because you don't speaka da language prop'ly. You no saya thing right, you cut off.
With the fine German lasses, give them a little Edge, a Bic shaver, a kind word and maybe some candles in their bubble bath and they'll even make an old man stand at attention!
