It would have been even better had the factory done it before it left their facility.Quote:

But no one answered your question they all just kept telling you to fix it.

I picked up my new CW45 today, and did the prep and lube, and then spent about 20-30 minutes trying to get that damned guide rod back in, I got to thinking they sent me the wrong spring or rod or something. Then I must have held it just right and it slipped right in. Not sure what I did different, kind of pushed it in from the side I think, after that long it's hard to keep track of everything you've done.
It sure wasn't much fun, trying to keep that freshly oiled guide rod from slipping out of my oily hand and flying across the room.
My guide rod is cut square, no bevel. Next time I take it apart it's getting beveled. Or I might order that stainless steel one. Glad to see I'm not the only one having problems. Man I love this forum. Seems like everything I come across has been discussed before. What a great resource to have available. I been racking the slide now for awhile, feel it's loosening up some, man this gun is tight. I wonder if the guide rod would be any easier to get in and out now. Not taking any chances finding out though until I'm ready to do some beveling.
I have the CW40 and wasn't expecting a wrestling match to get the guide rod back into the CW45. It pops right in and out of the CW40, but it has the beveled guide rod. It seems like they could take an extra 2 minutes to bevel that for us at the factory. I think I'd rather do my taxes again then have to put that guide rod back in, and I HATE doing taxes.
Once you add the bevel inserting the guide rod is a piece of cake. That <1mm of bevel makes all the difference. Without it getting the perfect alignment required to make the insertion, given the angle, tolerance between the rod and hole, and especially while compressing the spring, is a real piece of work, which we both found out via trial and error.
how about any of the after market stainless rods, are they beveled.
Has anyone written to kahr and advised them of how hard and how easy it is when the recoil rod has the bevel on it??? Who knows today mighgt be the day that some might be listening...
Steve Bedair's has a bevel according to the pictures on his sight. $25.00 for the P45 rod. I think that works in the CW45.
Can't get a good enough look at the Kahr shop pics to tell if theirs are or not.
