MK9 Broken Extractor

[arthurcw]

MK9 elite 2000.

I got 3 rounds off at the range and the gun had a failure to extract. No prob. I Have 1092 rounds through the gun with no problems, but I figured you're going to have some issues eventually. I dropped the Mag and the slide cycled forward. I expected the offending round to pop out when I locked the slide back. But it just stayed there. Took a hard look at the gun and WOW!!!! My extractor just flat broke. Has anyone had this happen before?

It left some nasty gouges in the slide (pointed to by yellow arrows in the pic). Do y'all think they are gonna want the slide back too or do you think they'll just send me a new extractor?

Well... I guess the honeymoon had to end some time.

If there's any question about other possible damage to the slide, send it back. I'd think you could just send the slide (only) thru one of those small post office boxes. It isn't considered to be a "firearm/handgun" but only a non-serial numbered part other than the frame. "A machined metal part" is what I'd call it. Let us know how Kahr treats you.

Contact Dottie for a return number. You can send the slide back as reg mail.

Emailed Kahr and Dottie gave me a Return Authorisation. They are replacing the slide and barrel and maybe the main spring. Sending my baby home for a few weeks.

Using the downtime to also get Night Sights on the new slide. They do not have any Birdsong slides :crying: so I'll be getting a Stainless Elite 2K3 slide on my Elite 2K frame. Should look OK. I don't have her for looks anyway.
