CW45 (and other poly Kahr pistols): issues and fixes

[Bawanna]

Yup, GB is a great asset around here. Some great thought, ideas, and just plan knowledge in his head for sure.

I've added a video link to post #5 in regards to how I tighten the slide stop spring screw.

That's what I had to do when the slide stop started coming off the frame when shooting, causing problems like FTRB and few stovepipes in my CW45.

Thanks for the very clear and nice video. As always you've done a great job and thanks, again, for taking the time to share and post it here.

I beg to differ, sir (love that line from "Tombstone"), you and Bawanna be the "man" here.

Mangled barrel hood:

Issue: Outside edge of the barrel hood appears damaged (visible in the left hand portion of the photo below). This is the result of wear and happens as hood rubs against the slide. It should not progress past what is shown in the photo and is purely cosmetic at this point.

If you desire to, the sharp points can be knocked down with a file (see left side of photo below). I would not go any further than than this (lightly knocking the points down). I did so on my pistol and have seen no further gouging.

Let us all give thanks for that!

that is also the portion of the barrel/breech that takes most of the hits when brass is ejected. Normally it will cause alittle burr on the right hand tip of the barrel hood. My PM9 did that but once I filed it down and sd mooth it out where it was not pointed like a pinhead and weak at that point, it never reappeared. This hood IMO looks worse than I have seen on the past, but what GB stated is correct. U can smooth that area down and it should never reappear again.[/I]
