Hi, I am a new Kahr owner, CW-9. Tallahassee, Fl. Went to the range yesterday, put 220 rounds through a new gun. Lots of fun, with a few hiccups. Gun doesn't like S&B 115 gr FMJ. Bullet profile wouldn't feed first round, but would fire from further down in magazine. Other than that, FUN!

Welcome! Were you feeding the first round from slide lock or were you "slingshoting"?

Welcome pelican - lots of good knowledge about Kahrs to be found in these forums.

Good Q. Especially with new Kahr- more reliable to release the slide lock to get that first solidly in. Takes technique and practice to reliably rack the slide with a full mag, even after its broken in.

I would also suggest checking the spring orientation in the magazine, and shooting a bit stouter ammo for break in....................

Hey Robert,

Would you do me a huge favor and measure your CW9's trigger reach -- trigger to backstrap?

Thanks,
Stan
