Hi All,
Picked up a new K40 today. It will be my carry gun as soon as I get it fully broken in. Put 150 rounds thru it today without any issues. Another 100 plus some defensive rounds and it will be ready to go.
Many thanks to all who contribute here. Your information helped make my decision on the K40.

Welcome to the forum, jbud47. I almost got one of those... had the K9 a long time, but found a Mag-na-ported P40 on our marketplace... LNIB. I had to work on the extractor clearance a bit, but it's my favorite now as EDC. 8 ounces less weight means a lot for CC in shorts!

Here's some info. Watch the take down video if you haven't already... really good info.

Welcome to the Kahrtalk forum supported by Kahr Arms.
Here are a few essential links and things to do BEFORE you take your new pistol to the range, and ESPECIALLY BEFORE taking it apart and trying to re-assemble it! The Kahr is a different design… 6-7 unique patents cover the Kahrs. I’m not trying to imply that you don’t know anything about guns, but many don’t know anything about the Kahrs and some of the things you can do to damage or cause malfunctions of your new, or new-to-you Kahr pistol.
First, if you don’t have a manual, yet, or one didn’t come with your pistol, you can download the pdf file here:

Impatient? Watch one of these videos FIRST! These videos can point out possible problem areas and emphasize correct procedures!

There are many links on fixing problems listed in several places… under the New Member or Kahr Tech sub-forums.
A very handy one is the Kahr Lube Diagram:

Many of your questions can be answered in these areas and you can learn how your Kahr works and not damage it with improper handling.

There are many helpful members here most of the time who might be able to help you, but as anywhere, there are many opinions and not all are correct. Be mindful of this before doing anything drastic to modify your pistol!
