$359. Looks like it has been shot a bit. Does Kahr test shoot their guns extensively? Im already in lust for this gun cant wait to get it to the range and breakr in. I got it a few minutes ago and just took it apart im gonna go read the manual and clean it now.

It's probably used.Be advised,although Kahr expects you to run 200 rounds before the gun is considered "broken in" properly,my CW40 took until about 350-400 rds before the FTF/nosedive problems went away,so don't give up hope at round number 200.They are very nice summer CCW guns,with the right holster...:thumbsup:

I traded in the kel tec p11 plus $250 I tried to trade in the 50 rounds of 9mm gold dots for some .40 ones since I no longer own a 9mm. He wouldnt take em so I gave em away to the guy standing next to me. :thumbsup:

Good man!!! Give it away if the gunshop won't deal with you. I have done the same thing.

KodyWhite,
I recently picked up a new CW-40 and have been very pleased so far. I ran 200 rounds through it in 1 session without even 1 malfunction. Found it to be very accurate and recoil is very manageable. Maybe Kahr has had some problems in the past or maybe they have received some unfair bashing, I don't know. There are no quality issues with mine so far. Keep us posted on your range report. Good luck.

First let me tell you the good news. The CW40 is accurate as helll. I was very pleased. I want to like this gun cuz half my family comes from MA near Worcester actually closer to Springfield. But I have heard the name before I got a Kahr. Its pronounced nothing like its spelled sounds like wuusta.

Anyways the bad news is I dont know what is wrong with the Kahr. My problem comes after a round has been fired the trigger does not reset sometimes (every other round or two or three).A round goes into the chamber everytime but I sometimes have to pull the slide back a little to get the trigger to reset.

On second thought maybe its just a me problem. I had 4 others try it and it worked fine with them. But I like the way I shoot(putting 3 bullets through 1 hole)
:sad:
Does this sound familiar to amyone?

Kodywhite,
I would not get too worried until you put at least 200 rounds through it. That is the factory recommended break in. Also, you may not be letting the trigger far enough forward to reset. If you have taken the gun apart for cleaning, be sure to line the notch in the rear of the slide pin up with the half moon notch in the slide. Read the manual on this if needed.
You are definately right about one thing, they are accurate as hell. I cut out a ragged hole in the middle of my target first time out. Luckily, I had no jams or problems.
Keep us posted and good luck.

Go bother somebody else. I dont need your comments.:ack:

[Kirkcdl]

Whose comments are bothering you,Kody??

1811 guy2 likes to repost information on the wrong forum. Im sick of it. He makes rude judgments and thinks Im playing with him. Then he questions my ability to shoot. He has already ruined one of my threads with his useless opinions. :zipmouth:
