I have prowled this site many times, but never had the need to post...
I'm not new to Kahr pistols. I owned a CM9 when they came out (traded it off-the magazine would eject under recoil, and I was offered a good price), a MK9 with the black slide (perfect function, but scratched up), a K40 and now this MK9. I traded the K40 because it was a hair too big for my intentions with it, though it was a perfect pistol. I really regret selling it off:(
I picked up a new MK9 from Bud's about six months ago. It functioned flawlessly like the others, except for the CM9, during the break in and a hundred or so rounds afterwards. It started to have an occasional stovepipe and various ejection failures. The magazine also began to pop out under recoil. It has ejected the brass erratically throughout. The issues continued and I tried many different ammunitions before getting peeved and getting in contact with Kahr CS.
I ended up sending it in to Kahr twice. They replaced the magazine catch and "reworked" the feed ramp to fix the problems. I shot it-still sprayed brass everywhere, including my face, which I feel is not okay, and failed to eject a few times. The second time I sent it in it went to Kahr's head gunsmith who replaced the magazine catch (for the second time, due to confusion in Mass.) and reworked the ejector. The gentleman who test fired the pistol after the work was completed called me and explained that it was working perfectly and brass was far to the right as I had come to expect from other pistols. When I received the MK9 back, the slide stop spring broke when taking the slide off to remove the huge amount of oil they put on before sending it back to me. I sent an email to Jay and asked for a MK9 spring. A spring for the PM9 was sent to me...then the correct one. I was getting a little pissy at that point, but got over it quickly:D
Since I received the pistol back, I have been to the range several times, and put about a thousand rounds through it. It has returned to battery every time and the magazine stays put. The brass is still being ejected erratically, mostly behind me, some at my face, one down the back of my shirt and occasionally off to the right.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a way to tune the ejector to get the brass going away from me more often? Is this normal? Where do babies come from?;) Any help would be appreciated! Sorry for the long post...
