Happiness is a new gun 2

Thanks Man. I'd suggest you browse Gunbroker to try and find one (with pictures), that matches what you're looking for even if you don't buy it there. The SDS Imports and Tisasusa websites are not complete at this point. So far what I've seen in the wild are:

edit: Found the tisasusa site to have some corrections and additional info.

Stingray Carry B45BA: Black slide, dark gray alloy frame, Bobtail Commander size, in 9mm (B9BA), and 45
Manta Ray Duty B45B: Black slide, black steel slide, Bobtail government size, in 45 (Don't know that I've ever seen a full size 1911 with a bobtail). Interesting.
Yukon Carry C10: Black slide, dark gray steel slide, Bobtail Commander with 25lpi frontstrap checkering. Tisas' site says in one place this is .45acp, in another it is 10mm. So, not sure what it actually is.

One downside to my Stingray is that the frame is ramped but the barrel is not. If I was going to be putting lots and lots of rounds through this that might be an issue over time. I don't know if the other models have ramped barrels of not. Tisas doesn't say.

PM9 Back Diamond slide, dim night sights, one 6 round flush mag, 2-7 round extended mags , 1 standard 7 round mag. By the s/n it appears to be an 2003 build. $280 + tax. I had been trying not to buy it for over a month. As the saying goes, visit the barbershop often enough and you’ll get a haircut. If it makes any difference the slide has the dimple.

Congrats on your new Kahr sorcere!

Thanks. Makes #4. My poor first one,CW9 is pouting in the safe.

Yup. Only had a box of 8rounds of ball ammunition with me, was not going to run my carry ammo on a function test. The mags need to be pulled apart and cleaned as after 2 shots the next round hung up inside the mag. Check one mag at home and the follower was very dirty. I’ve learned that even new Kahr magazines must be disassembled and cleaned before being put into service. The firearm itself is clean.

Pulled all 4 down last evening. 2 appear to not have been cleaned in 20 years. The other 2 better but not by much. Hoppies #9 then Gun Scrubber. Followers, springs, mag body’s. Function test to night.

Happy Days!

Got out tonight. First full mag, bang bang click. Mag catch/release needs replacing. Out of stock. Well I don’t shoot the CW9 much/ often and it’s the same part. Sooooo Cannibalism ensued. Darn now another trip to the range.

That baby needs a slide rehab with a striker spring replacement along with a good clean out and new mag springs then give it another chance….
