Ipscshooter asked the following in a different thread:
"I'm interested in a P45. I read there were problems when the gun 1st came out.
Were your problems recent and what were they. I am leery, as we all are, of buying if I have to go through a lot of aggravation. Just trying to do my due diligence. All comments and help appreciated. Also curious as to price before tax. I'm interesting in a P45. I read there were problems when the gun 1st came out."
I bought mine as a showroom display model at Gander Mountain. A good many people had been messing with it before I got a hold of it. Both returns were early-on in my ownership
1st return: Failure to lock open after the last round was fired. This problem was consistent with both magazines supplied by the factory. It became evident within the first 50 rounds. However, I kept shooting until I'd passed the 200 round factory-suggested break in period.
2nd return: Light primer strikes in 2 or 3 rounds out of every 50. On this return, I techie called me and asked if I'd mind them replacing the entire slide assembly. End result: I sent it in with a silver slide on it and it came back with a black slide. I like the black slide better. After I got it back, I had to do another 200 round break-in period. There were no problems during break-in. Now, over a thousand rounds later, it hasn't failed once in any way.
Kahr paid for the shipping both times - God bless Dottie!
My Ser. # is SAXXXX. I don't know if it was an early edition or not
Price before tax was $659.00
