I'm going to have to disagree with you. I bought a NIB Gen 3 19 last Nov and it has been nothing but trouble. It was plagued by the well documented erratic ejection problem and suffered a few stovepipes as a result. Took it to Glock, had the new 30274 ejector installed, and the brass to the face issue is resolved but brass barely clears the ejection port.

Last weekend. I bought a new Kahr CM9. I ran 250 round though it yesterday. It ran flawlessly. Most everyone over at kahrtalk is happy with their guns, with the exception of some CW45 owners. Compare that to glocktalk or the glock forum here, where there are alot of folks who can't get their gun to run right.

Based on my experience, I'd not hesitate to buy a Kahr. When folks do have problems with a Kahr, the majority of the time it is mag related and the issues are easily resolved.

While you are entitled to your opinion, I'll stick by my statement. I have personally owned 15 Glocks and never had the slightest issue while one of my 3 Kahrs had to go back for significant problems. It works now but I've never seen an issue with a Glock that would require a return trip to the factory. When I worked at a gun store we sent one Glock back and that was only because the owner insisted on it, we had to send several Kahrs back. I still like/own/trust Kahrs overall but to suggest they are more likely to be reliable than a Glock is borderline delusional. Even with the recent issues with ejectors and recoil springs on certain Glocks I would still be much more confident in a new Glock than a new Kahr.

I just got my new gen 3 19 back this morning from glock for the erratic ejection don't now how it'll run yet. My cm9 has been awesome though. 300 totals rounds so far n I love it

I just got one a week ago. I had 180 rounds through it without any single problem. I'll shoot some more this weekend. So far it has been solid. I really like this pistol.

I picked up a CM9 a couple weeks ago. I have only put 125 rds through it so far but it ran perfect and I really like this little gun.

Don't know anything about statistical likelihood, but can give some anecdotal data. In 2002 I read a rave review by Masaad Ayoob, and bought a Kahr P9. Didn't run. Took it back and got another one. Didn't run. Sent to factory, got it back. Didn't run. I spent an awful lot of money on the guns and ammo to test them, but I really liked the size, power, and accuracy package. I also thought it was a really neat design. Wound up going through 4 of them before I gave up and bought a Glock 19. The Glock ran perfectly from day one. Had it for years. I never really liked it all that much, but it worked and was easy to clean and maintain.

Ten years go by. It is now Summer of 2011. The Glock has been traded for some reason. I'm looking for a small 9mm. I buy a Glock 19 Gen 4 without doing research. Had no idea Glocks could be anything but perfect. Glock didn't run - same jamming problems lots of people are having with the 9mm Gen 4 pistols. Against my better judgement I bought a Kahr CW9. I expected problems, but thought, maybe after ten years they got it straightened out.

As of now the Glock still doesn't run. I've tried several fixes, including the latest recoil spring assembly and aftermarket extractor setup. I'm about ready to give up on it. The Kahr has a few hundred rounds through it, and the only issue it's had was one instance of my thumb activating the slide lock prematurely. I dehorned the slide lock and it has not happened again. So in 2012, I think your chances of getting a lemon are better with new Glocks than with new Kahrs, although you can get a lemon with either.

Reading the forums it does seem that, if you do get a gun with issues, your likelihood of getting a good ultimate resolution is better with Kahr than with Glock. Some of the new Glocks just can't be made to run.
