CW9 8-shot mag hangs up

[trooplewis]

Anyone ever have that happen? The plastic piece that the bottom cartridge rides on (the follower?) gets stuck on the inside wall of the magazine after about 4 or 5 shots.
It worked fine for the first 350 rounds or so, but now is giving me problems. I'm guessing it might be an easy fix, but thought I should check in here first before I started taking things apart.

Thanks in advance

You may need to disassemble and clean the inside of the magazine. The magazine needs no lubrication and lubing it can cause powder residue to accumulate in it.

possably th follower at that position is catching on the magazine release . easy to check, just take the magazine apart and then insert the empty magazine tube. now put the follower on top of the mag spring and insert slowly pushing upward. It should slide tothe top of themagazine with zero hindrance. If it grabs it is grabbing the mag release button.

take the follower out and sand that right side up front where it comesinto the view i the magazine tube window. retest again, resand again, take ur time,

Thanks guys, sounds like tonight's project.

Hmmm...it is a Kahr magazine, no visible screws. What is the trick to removing the black plastic piece at the bottom of the magazine (the part that extends below the grip), without breaking it?
Is that 3/16" round plastic piece in the very bottom a cap that I can pry off?

Push on the hole with a punch and slide off

Well, the trick to pop the bottom off worked just fine, and as soon as I took the magazine apart it became apparent why it was hanging up.

A 1/2" piece of plastic had broken off the bottom of the follower. It is the part that hangs under the flat that the cartridge bases ride along; at the back side of the magazine.
Doesn't look repairable, although I might try some plastic epoxy. Not sure if you can order just that part, I'll have to do some searching. Looks like a new magazine is in my future stocking present wishes.

Email kahr take pic if you can. They might send a free one.

Always willing to try that, thanks for the advice
