Question on my new CW9

[Mick3411]

Have had my new CW 9 for a week. Followed the break in process and put 200 FMJ rounds through her with no problem. Tonight I tried 3 mags of 115 gr Speer GDs. On two of the mags the 2nd round failed to feed. All else was fine. Just thought it was odd that the 2nd round in two different mags failed to feed.

I know it is still in the break-in so I am not panicking. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything like that.

I would try different SD ammo first before I looked to blame the gun.

Wow, didnt think I blamed anything. Just asked a question because I was surprised by what happened.

go to the kahbr tech section and hit on jocko's Propper prepping of ur new kahr and then scroll on down until you come to magazine fixes. I think that is maybe ur pbolem. very easy to trouble shoot if it is, the fix is simpler than picking your nose..

I'm guessing the second round nose dived into the ramp? If so, you may be experiencing interference with the magazine catch as the magazine follower moves upward. I don't know why, but the overall length or some other physical attribute of a particular choice of ammo seems to increase the chances, but the solution, which involves a little sanding of the magazine follower to provide clearance, is relatively easy, as described in this thread: http://kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1612

Edited to add: Ooops! I see that Jocko responded while I was typing my reply, with similar advice. :o
