Hi, I'm Larry, and I'm a new Kahr fanatic!
I found a new P45 on sale for $120 off and bought it with tax refund money. This will be my carry gun once I finish certifying it, and it replaces a Walther PP in that role. The amazing thing -- the P45 is just about the same size as the Walther, but barks and bites with much more authority! It joins my PP, a Taurus PT-99AFS, and a Tavor to round out my current collection.
I've seen lots of people discussing feed or ejection issues in their P- and CM-series. I'm happy to report my first 100 rounds (American Eagle 230 gr FMJ) fed without a hitch. All I did prior to shooting was run a boresnake thru the barrel and lube up the slide contact points. The only anomaly -- when I slammed the first loaded magazine home, the slide released and chambered a round without my having to thumb the slide release. It surprised me, yes, and I did a quick function check after unloading. Everything worked fine after that (I figure I hadn't fully seated the slide lock before loading the magazine).
And accuracy? My first 5 rounds, slow fired at 15 feet, were all in the 10 circle of a half-size silhouette. I'd call that accurate.
So I'm happy with my purchase, and looking forward to the next 100 rounds! And some good information off this forum!
