My buddy has been having some major issues with his brand new Kahr CW40 since he bought it; brand new. It has been a struggle through the break-in period.
The problems:
-Failure to Feed. It seems that almost one or two in every 40-50 rounds will not feed correctly and bind between the extractor and feed ramp. The bullet must be forced back into the barrel for it to be ejected.
-Magazine ejection. Every 2-3 rounds the magazine will pop out of the bottom of the gun.
-(lack of) Accuracy. awful grouping (>12" at 7 yards.)
Pertinent Negatives:
-Not ammo related- Have shot several different brands, lots, and types of .40sw ammo. The same ammo functions flawlessly in other guns.
-Not maintenance related- the gun has been broken in as recommended by Kahr, and has been regularly lubricated and cleaned.
-Not shooter related- the gun has performed this way for several experienced shooters. We have also tried several different grips (both hands, strong hand, weak hand, few fingers) to see if the shooters grip was affecting the performance of the gun- it was not. In addition we have tried slow fire and rapid fire to see if one or the other was worse- both were just as bad.
-Not magazine related- the gun performs this way no matter which magazine is in the firearm. We have three different magazines that all have the same issues. sometimes we can get through a full magazine, but its not the same magazine.
Any thoughts?
