I'm new to Kahrs, but I have a T9 for carrying.  A few days ago, I went to load the gun before going out, and the bullet on top of the mag nose dived into the feed ramp.  When I examined the mag and bullets closer, the first two or three bullets were all slanted downward (as opposed to flat) in the mag.  Has anyone else had these issues?  If so, how do you cure it?

Did you slingshot or use the slide release?



I've owned seven different Kahrs and never had feeding problems... using the slide release like Kahr specifies.

That, and you MUST break them in....200 rounds well lubed according to the kahr lube points diagram...

...unless the gun is older, broken in, and the springs are well used, in which place, start thinking about replacing the mag spring...

I used the slide release, but it only has probably 50-70 rounds through it.

YES!!!!!  

I bought a Kahr CW40 two years ago.  Every time I'd fire, the mag would drop out of the mag well. (Didn't matter which of the 3 different mags I used.)
I tried everything - press seating the mag...   I tried to pull the mag out with soft-jaw vice grips, and it wouldn't budge.   It was fully seated.  

Approx 200-250 rounds late, I sent it back to Kahr.  They "repaired" it.  Now, the mag only fell out every two or three rounds.  I sent it back again.  They "repaired" it again.  It still dropped the mag on occasion.   I ended up selling it to a friend who had a CW40, and wanted it for parts.  

I'll never buy another Kahr product.  YMMV  Updated

Yes waiting for replacement mag for a brand new cm9

Mine would not properly feed the last round in the mag. And yes breaking was done


Hope it is a mag problem.

Glad yours got fixed.  I'm looking to get a CW9 now.

I has feed problems pretty regularly for the first 100 or so rounds. By the time 200 rounds went through the gun it was feeding 100%.

Also, when dropping the slide on the first round, you must pull it back all the way an release. Do not ride it down, etc.

Ever consider it was your grip? Such a small gun, it's easy to bump the mag release.

Remember, the 9mm Parabellum is a tapered case the sides are not parallel.
