My wife bought her first gun, a CM9, from my co-worker, when she bought it she became the third owner and the break-in was not even complete yet.
From the paperwork, the first guy who bought it had some kind of issue with the trigger, because in the box was a Kahr repair request from the beginning of the year asking "please inspect trigger pull" and a "trigger reworked" response, he said they also polished the feed ramp (it is mirror shiny)... But, he still didn't like it so he sold the gun to my co-worker.
My coworker bought it from him last month and then found out the next week his girlfriend was 10 weeks pregnant... :eek: Since he had a lot of firearms and a lot less money, plus a baby on the way, he offered to sell it to me. He told me the history of it and that it only had a few rounds through it from the first owner, and only 43 rounds from him plus the 7 loaded in the gun. He had the box, paperwork, 50 rounds of Federal Champion Wal-Mart ammo, and a Fubos holster to go with it for $400
I looked it over real good and liked it a lot, but I didn't really need it, but my wife had been talking about wanting a gun of her own, but never saw anything she liked, so I called her to look at this one. She grabbed her money, came up to work, looked at it for a minute, dry-fired it, smiled, and bought it...
OK... on to the good stuff...
I read up on the quirks of Kahr's and today, I took it to the range to do the grunt work of running rounds through it to finish the break-in. I expected some hiccups, but I fired 20 WCC NATO FMJ's, 150 Federal Champion reds from Wal-Mart, 7 Federal HST 147gr JHP's, then the 7 Federal Champions that were in it when she bought it.
I had no issues with the trigger, very smooth, just like my Ruger P95's DA/SA first shot, just lighter. The gun fed everything fine, it had no stoppages, the slide locked every time, and there's only a slight impression of the feed ramp on the follower. Accuracy was good at the 20 to 25 foot range I set the target at.
When I got home and cleaned it, I was putting the recoil spring back when it popped through the guide rod hole. I thought I had just ruined Valentines by scratching my wife's brand new gun... :eek: but I hooked my fingernail under the end of the spring as I turned it back free of the slide. No scratch.
This gun has earned it's place on my wife's bedside table.
