snot Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) My Karh .40 is not even 6 months old. I have put about 250 rounds through it and I noticed this when cleaning it (didn't notice it before when cleaning). I was told its fine but thought some of you may have a better idea of if this is normal.The gap between the polymer and the slide.

Helmutt Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 And THAT'S why I love midget chicks.Just another reason I married this woman! :D:D Compared to my hands, miniscule.......but in her hands, monstrous!In all honesty, I'd told her it looked ok to me since the steel inserts on either side of the poly were still right in the groove of the slide -- Afterall, it's plastic - heat / use would affect it to some extent right?? I'm pretty sure that some of the gap was there when it was new, but it does seem to be worsening with use -- can anyone attest having the same issues with their guns?

Radio Flyer Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 It's normal. My Kahr CW9 is the same way. I'm around 750 rounds through mine and I haven't had any issues with it. It's probably been like that since day 1 and you're just now noticing it. I doubt it's getting worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 are you noticing and wearing on the underside of the barrel? if not Id say your good. If so, Send it back to Kahr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Snot.. how do you like shooting that Kahr? I had Lyns shoot my 709 (9mm) the other day' date=' and the recoil was more than she cared for. I'd like her to move up in caliber, but not if it comes at the cost of being able to keep her barrel on target. She handles her .380 Bersa fine and has almost no issue with recoil. She's looking to upgrade her carry weapon, but now we're not convinced she should turn away from .380ACP[/quote']It does have some kick but I love my kahr. I have no trouble with bring accurate. The Glock .45 we took out had less recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 My sigma 9 has a slight gap as well, and I have put about 700 rounds through it. I can attest, on the size! She had to lower a ninja 250! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 And that little 250 looks like a 600 when I am on it... thanks for all the info with the issues I already had with this gun I wanted to make sure its safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 That's no good. You need to sell it and buy an M&P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
