I found a new K40 Elite 2003, which should be here next week - |
Range report - Pretty sorry....................Even after the recommended 200 break-in rounds. Every mag had a least one fail to feed with the slide locking into place and was very disappointing. Plus, the spent rounds had flat spots on the mouth of the cases. I ran a total of 225 rounds of brand new American Eagle 165 gr. FMJ ammo and 4 different magazines and still had problems ......So this one is going back to KAHR. Out of five Kahr's I own this is third one that has to go back for warranty work and this is there high end model. Great idea, however a new Kahr is a hit or miss type of thing~Just keep in mind when you purchase one it's a 50/50 chance you'll have to send it back. Even the new T9 I just got, the wood grips are not properly fitted and hang off (extend too far off the receiver) and you have the wood panel digging into your hand.

| damn that is depressing, really sorry about that, buy such a nice handgun and end up with type of results. I know Kahr will get u right but still that is pure b.s. I would call them and ask if they would issue a pickup on the handgun. Otherwise, I would send it back ups and address it to kahr, not kahr arms and they will never ask about anything. give ups a reason to ask, and they will demand overnite shipping at a cost to you of at least $40, Otherwise about $10 . I have never been asked on any handugun but if I was I would just say it is a high speed hole punch. lots of high speed hole punches sent back every day to a gun company. |
Yea, it's alright - I'm FFL and I would rather this kinda crap happen to me rather then one of my paying customers - I'm basically testing each model of the KAHR's before I can recommend to a customer........So far, like I said it's a 50/50 deal ~ Man I'm sure glad I got a boat load of Glocks that go bang every time

| ck, I like ur attitude. shit does happen. I am a 40 year now retired gun dealer and customers also dependedc on my suggestions also. I love my kahr, have a k9 coming in tomorrow. The plus far ourt weight the minus's of ther kahrs IMO. Great guns but some do give issues. there is just a ton of Glock technology in the upper slides of the kahrs. I will give any gun from now on at least one trip back tothe factory for an issue, afrter that I will peddle it and either buy anohter or another brand. I just don't see any handgun company out there that can put out such a small 9mm and 40 cal as the kahr line. I am not counting kel tec either, for reasons I will not mention. Please let us know when you get that little jewel back and how it operates. Thankyou. |
