Ok, as stated in the first thread; new to Kahr and pretty new to pistols in general but here is my first range report.
After an interminable delay, I was finally able to try out my new pistol.
First 100 rounds loaded all magazine one round short, Independence 115 FMJ, (Federals’ cheap ammo I think), absolutely no problems, every shot “bang’, every shot ejected, slide stayed open after last round.
Note: had the original flush six round magazine and the extended seven round magazine, and another used factory Kahr seven rounder.
Second 100 rounds loaded all magazines full, exact same results, perfect.
Next 50 rounds loaded all magazines full +1, perfect till next to the last magazine, flush six round one, first round out of the magazine click - tap rack and roll, apparently no round loaded, pull trigger after TRR and bang, load last seven round magazine perfect.
Last 14 rounds, Spear Gold Dot 124 +P, flush six round +1, fired fine, slide fails to stay open after last round. Seven round magazine, fired fine, slide fails to stay open.
By the end the pistol was noticeably dirty, and warm. Also by then me and my hands were a bit warn out as well.
I do not remember the specifics but I do remember reading about this problem on the board when doing my research. Need you’re all’s expertise.
I had hoped to give a 100% perfect report and up to about round 237 it would have been.
A bit of a postscript; as stated I am new to this so I still need a good deal of practice to just become proficient let alone good, but I would guess that (mostly 25 feet) at least 90% would have been COM. A few times I broke the rules, I was alone at the range, and fired once at about ten feet and a couple of times at about 15 feet and the groups did tighten up, I pretty consistently was hitting to the right and often low but I broke out the sand bags even though I really do not know how to shoot pistols off a bag and the shots were dead on although strung out vertically. Bottom line I am pretty confident that a good shooter would find the gun quite accurate.
Last note I cleaned up the pistol as best that I could figure out how and lubed, (thanks GT Kahr I know how to lube) but how often do you need to disassemble the magazines and clean them?
I hope that this is helpful and at least reasonable as to form and function; and I would appreciate any advice. Thanks and sorry that the post is a bit long.
